What's New

Big city crime is making its way to our small towns. Over the weekend,

Nitty Gritty was broken into and robbed. More disconcerting was the

fact that they had a gun, probably a pellet gun, and shot out one of

the glass entry doors. I imagine that a pellet gun could do some damage

to people also.

Corinne at th Village Office is still in need of helpers for the water

slide on June 23rd. Can you help her out? Give her a call

at 402-828-5355.

Sue Saathoff reports the Memorial Day Luncheon was another

sucess! About 70 people enjoyed a nice meal provided by the

Unadilla Community Library. Sue says thank you all for attending

and a big, big thank you to: Village Board members for setting

up and taking down tables and chairs, and the HUGE fan, which 

was greatly appreciated due to such a hot day; Joyce Schulze for

preparing the sloppy joes (they were delicious as always);

Glenda Willnerd, Sheila Downey, Peggy Leefers and Alberta

Block for preparing, serving, and cleaning up - great job ladies!

Also another thank you to Peggy Leefers for obtaining funds

through Thrivent, which covered the cost of supplies and food!

Barb Wilhelm manned the Veterans Room and Sharon Demaree

and Corey Schulze played host in the History Room. They were

enjoyed by most of the attendees. It was nice to see everyone

enjoying their meal while visiting with friends, neighbors and

family. Plus it managed to raise some funds to benefit the

Library. Thanks again to all who helped and attended.

Thirty-six Unadilla High School Alumni, spouses and friends,

gathered on Saturday, May 26, 2018, at the Duncan Building on

Unadilla's Main Street, to honor past graduates. The evening was

opened with the Flag Salute and the Lord's Prayer, followed by a

wonderful carry-in dinner, complete with fried chicken, delicious

side dishes and desserts. It was enjoyed by all present.

"Unadilla, An Arboretum Village" was the theme for the evening

and a special program was given by Bob Brandt. He talked about

the trees in the Village, being a member of the Nebraska Statewide

Arboretum, and the advantages of tree planting in the community.

Many present were not aware of the effort put forth in planting

trees around town for the past several years and greatly enjoyed

Brandt's presentation.

Honorees from the class of 1958 were Marilyn Schreiner, Robert

Callaway, and Milton Leefers. They were the last class to graduate

from Unadilla High School. Shirley Fensler, Rolly Kastens and

Lee Clark represented the Class of 1953. Lillie Rockenbach was

the only one from the Class of 1948, as Jean Lucas and Dick

Mohlman could not attend. Jack Stilwell represented the Class of

1943. The highlight of the evening was Roland Rodaway being

present to celebrate the 80 year Class of 1938. Other honored

alumni were Berdean West and Glen Wyatt, Class of 1941; Rose

Marie Brandt, Class of 1942, and Lois Ebert, Class of 1944. Bob

Fey, Class of 1945, passed the week before and thoughts and

prayers were given for his family. He was missed by all those 

present.

Goodie bags put together by Barb & Milton Leefers were given

to each attendee and centerpieces were given to the oldest

person at each table. Organizers reminded everyone dinner will

be the same time and place in 2019. See you next year!

Thanks to Judy Stoner Pope and Jim & Marilyn Schreiner

for their generous donations to the Unadilla Cemetery. It is

most appreciated!
