November 2020

Don’t you wish a dollar was worth more than a dollar, not less? You can have your wish come true on December 1.
December 1st is Giving Tuesday and the Friends of the New Glarus Library are participating for the first time. The Friends want use this money for furniture in the Children’s and Young Adult areas of the new library, and to help with the cost of special programs for the community. The great thing is that the money we raise for furniture will be matched by the ongoing Love of Community grant, making your dollar worth more!

The New Glarus Village Board met on November 17, 2020, remotely via Zoom.
The board took up the question of rescinding the permit for Christkindli Market. There were two agenda items, one to rescind the permit, and one to change the location of the event. Before being able to vote on the location, the board would have to rescind the original permit.
During the Public Comment section, Deb Anderegg of the Glarner Stube noted that having the street closed would cause problems for their restaurant. She said that with the pandemic, 70% of their business is carryout.

Santa’s Workshop has been cancelled this year. We hope to be back up and running again next year!

Duppler-Smith Post 460 American Legion recently received a large donation from a woman from Belleville whose husband passed away a year ago. The man was a Veteran, and although he was not a member of our local organization, they have lived in the area for years. She wanted to donate in his memory, stipulating the money be used for a building renovation fund so our meetings and events will continue for the community.
