Dear New Glarus and Area Residents,
Thank you for stepping up to make our Friday, August 3rd Blood Drive a great success.
The Charge Nurse was delighted with the fact that we had the lowest deferral rate ever! Only three were deferred this time for a later day instead of our normal 8 to 12! This was awesome news for me to hear. Thank you all for hydrating and eating well in preparation for donating.

The annual Belleville Community Picnic kicked off on Thursday, August 9, 2018, with Family Night. The evening featured Bingo, Kids Inflatables, Backyard Games, Havens Petting Zoo, and lots more family fun! Fireworks wrapped up the evening.
The rest of the weekend was busy with a 5k run/walk, Bike Race, Rib Contest, Softball Tournaments, Volleyball, Car Show and many, more activities. Of course there was lots of great food, and music by a number of local bands including Cherry Pie, Chicken Truck, Madison County, Greenfield Brothers, Zweifel Brothers Band, and Ghosts in the Room.
