IT’S WINTER

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

If snow levels build up on the downtown Streets, it may become necessary to remove it during the early morning hours. All efforts will be made to notify people if they need to keep vehicles off the streets for longer periods of time. Please do not blow snow into the streets.

A Village Ordinance requires that all residents in the Village must shovel their sidewalks within 24 hours of a snowfall. Please be aware of ice build-up also. You are responsible if someone were to fall.

Anyone with a Fire Hydrant in front of your home, if you could keep 4 to 6 foot of snow shoveled around it, it would help the Fire Dept and Public works Dept. This is also for your safety and the safety of your neighbors.

The 1st Friday of each month, you may put large trash such as furniture etc. out to the curb for regular pickup.
DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE BURN PILE!!!! We have a Village Ordinance prohibiting putting trash out more than 24 hours before a pick-up day. Any trash containers are to be put away within 12 hours of pick-up also.

The Village Police Department will be enforcing these ordinances. Lets all try to help in keeping our community clean

TWO LETTERS OF APPRECIATION

I received the following letter from Mike Appenfeldt regarding the accident on December 30, 2011;
My niece was in that roll over on county J this mornin.....I would like to put out a thank u to the local fire department and first responders for their fast action......it's nice to know that we have such great help on hand !!!!!!!

The following letter was sent to the Village 12/19/2011;
Dean Ziegel
204 Jackson St
Reeseville, WI 53579

Dean,
Each year you, Don and the Village of Reeseville brighten my mornings during the Christmas Holidays.
At approximately 5 am each day, on my way to work travel through town. The Christmas decorations that you have installed are bright and cheerful. They uplift my spirits and help me begin the day with a great feeling.
The decorations this year are some of the best I have seen and by far surpass some of those in larger towns. The Village has every right to be very proud of them. Whoever was instrumental in their purchase deserves much credit. They did a fine job!
So thank you Dean and Don and carry on! Please pass along my thanks to the Village Board members and whoever is involved each year for now and in the future. I hope the decorations are a part of Christmas in Reeseville for many years to come.
Please accept the enclosed small donation to the Village for the decorations, maintenance, etc.
Merry Christmas!
Dave and Barb Ralbovsky
The Village thanks them for the $25.00 Check and the letter. It is greatly appreciated!

FALL RIVER ARCHERY PROGRAM
Last month students in Fall River School started their archery unit in their physical education classes. Through the National Archery in the Schools Program and the help of many people, Fall River is able to offer archery as part of its physical education curriculum. Students are taught about safety and the equipment before even touching a bow.
This is a life-long sport that some students may never have had the chance to participate in otherwise. Archery is going to be offered during summer school and an afterschool club is going to be formed in the near future.
This program was made possible entirely by donations made to the school. A big thank you goes out to Dodge County National Wild Turkey Federation, Columbia County Pheasants Forever, Columbus Sportsman's Association, Poynette Bowhunters, Columbia County Shooting Sports, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Wisconsin Bowhunters, All Seasons Archery Place of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and all the other people and organizations that have helped make this program a success.
If you would like this in your local school, please contact Chapter President, Dean Ziegel.

IS MONEY TIGHT?

            Many individuals and families are struggling to make ends meet these days. FoodShare is a food assistance program that helps ALL people of low or fixed incomes to buy nutritious foods, including seniors and adults without children. FoodShare could give you monthly deposits to help with food purchases, freeing up money for bills, medications and other necessities.

Did you know…

2/3 of eligible seniors are NOT claiming their benefits!

You can own a home and car and still get benefits.

Most people only receiving Social Security and even a small pension are eligible!

The USDA estimates that for every $5 spent in FoodShare benefits, about $9 circulates through local businesses and to our farmers.

Getting benefits does NOT take away from others. EVERYONE that is eligible will get benefits.

You may be eligible if your income is less than the following for household size and/or if you have high out-of-pocket medical expenses.

The Season of Lent begins this month--on Ash Wednesday, February 22nd. During this six-week long season, our Wednesday evening services are not "repeats" of the previous Sunday services, as they normally are, but rather,
we will be having a series of special Midweek Lenten Services during which we will explore the theme
"Not Our Plans--His Plan" based on St. Matthew's record of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection.
Each Wednesday service will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Prior to our Midweek Lenten Services, a Fellowship Meal will be served in our Fellowship Hall.
Serving will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will continue until 6:30 p.m.
Each week, a different person or family from our congregation will prepare the supper and
other folks will be providing side dishes.
There is no cost to attend these meals, however, a free-will offering will be accepted.

All are invited to join us for a delicious homemade meal each Wednesday during Lent. Please know that everyone is also welcome to join us for worship on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights--not just during Lent--but all year long.
