Craft With Me
For our November projects, we will be painting on wood rounds, with a Thanksgiving theme planned
as well as making Christmas Gnomes out of pine cones.
The first session will be on November 1, 2024 from 1-3 p.m.
A second session is scheduled for November 6, 2024 from 6-8 p.m.
Please advise Lori (641-947-6700) if you are planning to attend and which session.
Having a 'head count' will allow us to have the necessary supplies on hand for the project.
This is a free project, but donations are accepted in order to purchase craft supplies for future projects.

For several months now, City Staff have been working to set up a Notification/Alert System to allow better communication with our residents. This system is hosted by Everbridge. Now, critical alerts about our water supply, community events, or other important information can be sent out quickly so everyone can stay informed. We have set up a web page “Stay Informed with Alerts” with links that will allow you to sign up and learn more information about the Notifications and Alerts. There will be more information sent out with your water bill this month. Please spread the word so your neighbors can stay informed as well.
