A blossom to all the people involved in the wonderful commemorative service for the 60th anniversary of the Korean War held at Green County Veterans Memorial Park on July 27. Many family and friends attended the tribute for the Green County veterans who died and those still missing in the Korean War. They also recognized all veterans who attended. I lost a brother in the Korean War Feb. 13, 1951. God bless all of you. - Elaine (Schwend) Ruchti, Monroe



A bunch of blossoms to the local cheese business for donating cheeses curds for the fundraiser at Pleasant View Nursing Home in July. The fundraiser proceeds went towards purchasing the new wheelchair accessible sink for the beauty salon. Thanks to this fundraiser, and our other generous donors, we have now reached our goal and have ordered the sink. - Jennifer Stollenwerk, Life Enrichment Supervisor, Pleasant View Nursing Home



A huge blossom to the Monroe Morning Optimists Club, New Glarus Lions Club, and New Glarus Youth Visions Committee for donating money to help pay for the bus for the NGM football team to get to Wisconsin Badger Camp. Without their help this service day would not have been possible. - Desie Breadon
