The School and Discover Wisconsin?

Did anybody read the notice in the Ripon paper about the Green Lake School District paying $15,000 to Discover Wisconsin, a PBS show, to feature Green Lake? The school district got rid of Jimmy Janke a 32 year employee because they couldn't afford it.

This is article is right next to an article about the school board cutting people because of budget concerns. What about administration cuts? Does Green Lake need a full time superintendent? I understand Princeton has a part-time superintendent. Couldn't we share one with them?

How do they afford this?

Green Bay Channel Five

Channel 5 out of Green Bay is here today doing a story on the joys of the area. It looks like we are getting a little publicity.

Happy Tales Book Store on County K

The Dickman's book store was on CBS Sunday morning last week. If you haven't been there GO! The show never mentioned Green Lake by name but the Dickmans is a hidden treasure that has been there many years. It is particularly great for children on a Saturday afternoon. It is about a half mile west of Center House on the right. It would make a great class trip.

The address is W1778 County Road K, Markesan, WI. 920-398-3375.

Go see Mrs. Dickman!

Chamber Volunteers for Solstice

If you would like to help the area the chamber needs volunteers for the Summer Solstice pajama night for June 21. Volunteers are generally needed for 2-3 hours. The same people volunteer on a regular basis and it is time for more people to step up and help Ellen with the job.
