March 2016

This spring/summer, the Town of New Glarus plans to reconstruct Pioneer Road, from County Highway O to Titus Lane. The project will include pulverizing the existing asphalt, widening the road, improving sight lines, overlaying with hot-mix asphalt and re-ditching.
We would like to invite you to a public information meeting to review the project with our contractors, engineer and utility representatives. The project will require cutting down some trees along the ROW and may require some grading easements on a few properties to increase safety along the roadway.

The members of the New Glarus Lions Club are known for their service to the community. On Sunday, March 13, the community turned out to thank the Lions Club and show their support at the annual Pancake Brunch. Boy Scout Troop #106, New Glarus Dairy Queen Ashley Judd and, of course, Chef Mike Nevil helped to make the event a success.

Many people want to give back to the community, but may not have a lot of time to volunteer. The American Red Cross reminds eligible individuals that in only about an hour, volunteer blood donors can help save lives and feel instant gratification. Blood is a perishable product that can only come from generous volunteers. By donating blood, individuals can make a difference in the lives of patients in their community and throughout the nation.
