Don Links Plaque, Board of Ed Candidates Night This Week

Plaque Dedication: The Madison Recreation Advisory Committee invites the public to the unveiling and dedication Saturday of the Don Links Plaque at the Madison Recreation Center.

The ceremony--meant to celebrate the time, effort and passion the former councilman, who died in July after a battle with ALS, put into the facility--is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

The committee said Links's wife, Joanne, and their 13-year-old twins will be attending, and the committee hopes the community can show overwhelming support in the form of an extremely large gathering.

Organizers said the event "will go ahead rain or shine, as Don would have intended. ('It never rains on a football field.')"
