Please continue your thoughts and prayers for Central Illinois.  Many of our neighbors here in Central Illinois and North have such flooding waters they are losing their homes and businesses are closing.  This is a big deal and something we are not used to seeing here. 

If anyone locally can help contact the red cross, they need sandbaggers and others who can help in other ways.  Donations are also much needed.  Many are in shelters right now.  http://www.redcross.org/il/peoria/
