The Hitzemann family visited Bob & Barb Wilhelm over the

weekend. Before a traditional Easter dinner, there was an

Easter egg hunt. Did anyone else have ants in the plastic

eggs? It was one of the warmest Easters in recent history.

Did you know if the use of cloth diapers increased by just 1%,

the reduction in waste would be about the same as 14,200

households not producing any garbage for an entire year?

The Annual Barbeque will be held on June 28th this year.

Please consider volunteering to help with one or more

of the activities. Your help would be greatly appreciated

and you don't have to live in Unadilla. Thanks in advance

for your consideration.
