Who doesn’t like a free t-shirt? Especially when it’s supporting their favorite high school team colors.

In hopes of helping county schools celebrate school spirit and have fun at games, Lincks Clothing and Shoes will be donating 10 free school shirts to each of the county high schools during home games this football season.

“We did this before Covid and there was so much excitement from the fans!” said owner Rita Lincks. “I want to bring back that excitement and raise school spirit and hopefully add a smile to someone’s day!”

Lincks said when her sons played sports, the cheerleaders were always doing something fun for the cheer block and it boosted school spirit.

“So when we did the shirts everyone loved them!”

The shirts will be Lincks shirts in school colors.

“We are excited for this opportunity and wish the best of luck to all our county teams!”

Located at 15 Public Square, Salem, Indiana, Lincks is a local business that supports the schools in numerous ways throughout the school year with fundraisers, post season games and more. This is just another way for them to show their support to the local schools.

A decade ago, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce commissioned a study on the state’s water supply to provide an account of the resource so vital for everyday life and economic development.

Now, through the Indiana Chamber Foundation, the organization will release its follow-up research, “Water Policy and Planning: A 10-Year Update” on Monday. This new report is intended to set the stage for the production and implementation of an integrated water management plan for the state. Like its first effort, this study was prepared for the Indiana Chamber Foundation by INTERA Incorporated, which has a location in Bloomington.

Join the virtual press conference to learn about the report’s recommendations and ask questions of:

Jack Wittman, project leader and vice president and principal water resource hydrologist for INTERA
Greg Ellis, general counsel and vice president of energy and environmental policy and federal affairs for the Indiana Chamber

The virtual press conference will take place on Monday, August 19th at 1 p.m. The conference can be accessed through the following link:
