Get well wishes to Joyce Schulze, Kate Lucas,

and Karen Schwartman.

A big thank you to John Moss, who has "refreshed" the

parking space stripes on Main Street and along side the

Bank. Your hard work is appreciated.

The next painting class with Sharon Demaree will be

Saturday, July 30, from 9:30 -11:30 a.m. The class size is

limited to 12 so make your reservations soon with

Sharon at 402-450-3161.

Please watch your mail for the Cross Connection

survey (residents only). It must be filled out and returned

to the Village Office and is required by the State of

Nebraska. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Bob Wilhelm would like to remind everyone to stop by

the Bingo stand in the air conditioned Fair Center during

the County Fair next weekend (July 28 -July 31). The

proceeds help fund local youth programs.

It's always lots of fun!

Did you know that between 1905 and 1914,

vehicle owners made their own license plates out of

leather and then registered them with the

Secretary of State?

I've been "confined to quarters" for too long; this keeps

churning around in my head, probably from all the

senseless killings: "There seems to be a kind of order

in the universe, in the movement of the stars and

the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons,

and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is

almost pure chaos." -Katherine Anne Porter, 

Paris Review, 1963.
