Lincoln Daily News is delighted to see members of the city of Lincoln governance and support staff participating in the Paint the Paper Pink, pink shirt campaign once again this year. Featured today are the members of the Lincoln City Council with Mayor Tracy Welch and the heads of the various departments within the city. The next picture is the City Clerk’s office staff, and the third picture is the staff that make up the city street and building and zoning offices.

These three pictures outline the chain of command within the city beginning with the mayor and city council. These groups work well together and strive to maintain our community in good working order.

With breast cancer most often occurring in women it becomes a difficult situation because by nature women are the care givers and right up there at the top of the chain of command.

Women tend to take care of others, and not so much themselves. But when you are battling, you have to put yourself first. So, let your guard down, shift that chain of command, and let those around you carry some or all of that weight while you focus on getting well.
