What's New

Well, who's sick of snow besides me? We had 6-7 inches this past weekend at the Western

Wilhelm Outpost and drifts that are higher than we've seen for the last several years. The snow

plow came by around 5 Sunday night but our neighbors to the north had to wait untill the next 

morning. How many days till spring?

For those of you who live in town, please move your vehicles to the opposite side of the street

after the snow plow has went by so maintenance can get closer to the curb and remove more

snow.

The last day for garbage pickup from Seneca Sanitation is March 29. After that, service will be

provided by Papillion Sanitation. The prices will remain the same for now. We will pass along more

details as they become available.

Thanks again to the family of Berdean West for more donations to the Resource and History

Rooms. Among them, there were over 200 funeral caards, which all of you family historians know

how valuable they can be. And old photos, our favorite! 

This is just one example:
