Martin Luther King Day

January 19 - Village Office Closed

Glenda Willnerd invites everyone to the Palmyra Activites

Center on Sunday, January 25, 2:00 p.m., to view the

DVD "History of Palmyra". If you're interested in family

and local history, you won't want to miss this.

You know we will have a big snow eventually this winter.

Dwight Kastens would like to remind Unadilla residents

to move their vehicles off the street when he is plowing

snow. Main street, and exit/enter streets are done first.

Then north/south streets, the first being past the 

Community Center. Next the east/west streets, and lastly,

the alleys. Thanks in advance for your help.

Get well wishes to Keith Block. Hang in there

old friend.

This time of year there are always lots of water problems.

It is a good time to remind the public that of all the earth's

water, 97% is salt water found in oceans and seas. Only

1% of the earth's water is available for drinking, and 2%

of all water is frozen. How lucky we are here

in Nebraska.
