January 2016

The Stuessy-Kuenzi New Glarus Post #141 hosted this year's American Legion's Oratorical Scholarship Program Contest for high school students of Green County.
Contestants were required to give 8-10 minute prepared oration on a topic of their choice related to the United States Constitution. They were also assigned a topic on which they gave a 3-5 minute oration. The assigned topic was one of four topics that related to specific articles of the Constitution.

Seventy-six knitters gathered at the Chalet Landhaus in New Glarus the weekend of January 22-24.  Among their activities, they knitted scarves for the New Glarus community.  These have been placed on some of the cows around town.  Any local resident in need of a little extra warmth should feel free to take a scarf.  
The Madison Knitters Guild, sponsor of the Annual Winter Retreat, appreciates the hospitality of New Glarus and the generosity of the many merchants who contributed goods and gift certificates for door prizes for the event.

Green County 4-H Shooting Sports recently received a donation from the Green County Coyote Hunters Club to help support 4-H shooting sports programs.  The Green County Coyote Hunters Club has a mission to control predator populations by hunting coyotes and fox with the aid of dogs; to promote safety, fellowship, and good sportsmanship; and to cooperate with other organizations that share these objectives.  The Green County Coyote Hunters Club donated the funds to support the youth education 4-H provides through the 4-H Shooting Sports programs.

The Chickaree is an event that Monticello Community Club started in conjunction with the Lion’s Fisheree.
The Community Club will be grilling chickens again this year. Half chickens will be sold at $6.00 (not a complete dinner…just chicken). These chickens are the same chicken that is cooked at Homecoming; however, opinion has it, they’re even better tasting!
