Good Luck everyone! Don't forget to vote by putting your spare change (dollars preferred!) into the jars at The Bar or Countryside Bank. Proceeds go to Fire & Rescue and Unadilla Area Fund.

Thank you to these additional All Fund Drive contributors: Warren & Carol Lashley and John Moss.

Also, thank you to the Berdean West family for sharing some of their photos and obituaries.

We've been having some unusually warm weather. It's great to not have to wear the heavy coat around, but, you know, we're going to pay for it!

The Unadilla Area Fund will meet next Tuesday, January 14, in the Library at 10 a.m. We will be finalizing plans for Groundhog Day and taking nominations for a new committee member as Sue Saathoff has retired. If you're interested please contact me, Bob Brandt, Corinne Zahn, Glenda Willnerd, Peggy Leefers, or Donna Crownover. If you're availabe, please join us at the meeting!

Continued get well wishes for Harvey Vogt, Peggy Luff and Nina Rohlfs. Thoughts and prayers for Sharon and Dennis Baker.

A reminder from Corinne at the Village Office: you can sign up to have your water/sewer bill taken directly out of your bank account automatically. Avoid those late payment fees! Give her a call at 828-5355.

Also, remember the new sales tax became effective January 1.
