The Village Office will be closed this Thursday, February 23rd.

 

Continued get well wishes to all those who've been under the weather, and there have been a bunch of you! No one has reported it being Covid, thank goodness. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery.

 

 

Need to get out of the house for an hour? Don't forget our exercise room is open and it has some great equipment (and a tv). There is also the gymnasium to walk in. Individual memberships are only $25.00 a year.

 

 

 

 

 

The Otoe County Legion & Auxiliary Convention was held at the Unadilla Community Center on Sunday, February 19. Eleven men and women attended from Nebr. City, Syracuse, Palmyra, and Talmage posts. The past years highlights from each community was shared. One of the main topics of conversation was the shrinking number of members in each community and what could be done to improve the situation. Upcoming projects were also discussed. New officers were confirmed and will be sworn in at next year's meeting. Thanks to those who brought cookies!

 

 

Congratulations to Mal's on their first anniversary! It's so great to stop in for one of their specials. Have you tried them yet?

Folks are still debating on how much snow we received, anywhere between 7 and 10 inches. And with the nice warm weather we've had since, it's really starting to disappear! We won't gripe too much, "we needed the moisture" as we've heard several times!

 

 

 

 

I'm still uploading photos from Groundhog Day. Thanks so much for your contributions!
