New Glarus Cares Needs Your Support

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/04/2023 - 7:49am

New Glarus Cares achieved its first goal at the December 6, 2022, meeting of the New Glarus Village Board when members of the Board voted unanimously to accept the land adjacent to Candy Cane Park as a donation, with the agreement that the Village maintain it as green space and make it an official extension of the park. Now the group’s fundraising efforts will kick into full gear. We are excited to share that we’ve collected over $20,000 in donations to date, and have a number of upcoming events and opportunities for people in the community to get involved.
