Lions News
By Barbara McHugh
The Newburg Lions and Lioness
Car Show and Village-Wide Rummage Sale will be Sunday, August 21st.
There is a sign up map at the back of this issue of Bridges or you can
pick up a copy of the map at Tri Par. Please fill out and mail the whole
map back to Barbara McHugh 7105 Hickory Road, West Bend, WI 53090.
These need to be received by July 20th. Also, please make
sure that your phone number is on this sheet. If you don’t give me a
phone number I can’t call you with your rummage sale number. Also, if
you have a new street that is not on the map, please draw it in and I
will include it on the final map for the day of the sale. Please mark
your house on the map so I don’t have to drive around and look for it to
include on the map. Last year was a smashing success and I have no
reason to doubt that we will have a wonderful event again this year.
We need your help!! If there
are any local folks that would like to help the Lions or Lioness the day
of the car show, please contact us. If you are new in the area – it is a
great way to meet your neighbors. You can flip a few burgers or direct
parking … or help with the children’s games. We are a very small club
and need the support of the community to make this day great.
Show events – we will once
again have the help of Sandy Stockhausen and the Newburg Fire Department
with screening of diabetes and blood pressure. We may have a few other
screening choices, too, such as fingerprinting and hearing screening.
There will be GAMES for the
kids and lots of prizes for all of them, and of course, lots of AWESOME
CARS to look at and you can rummage to your hearts content. The FOOD AND
REFRESHMENTS will give you the needed break from rummaging or rubber
necking the vehicles. Have a safe summer and hope to see you in August.
Possibilities for
Bridges
We are looking at publishing
the Bridges on a monthly basis with the newsletters being available at
Tri Par, State Bank of Newburg and various downtown businesses. The
monthly newsletter would not be hand delivered but the quarterly
newsletter still would be delivered. Also, any of the businesses, if you
would like to do a small advertising in our Bridges – we welcome your
camera-ready art. Ideas would possibly be a coupon or any small
advertising that we could easily paste onto our newsletter. These are
just a few ideas in the making.
 Newburg
Baseball
By Phyllis Damrow,
Trustee
We just want to
let you know that our season is off to a good start. No rain game – like
last year. We have a very good coaching staff again this year, and would
like to thank them all for the many hours they spend with their team as
far as practicing and games. I have added many new items to the food
menu at the stand and encourage you to come down if you don’t have
anything to do on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. We will provide some
good games and entertainment in the park. We also have games at Dr.
Weber Park in Newburg at 6 p.m. each Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If
you have any questions or want more information, please stop by at the
concession stand on our league nights or call me at 675-2493. If you
need a schedule for the games, I have them available at the park.
 Myraneers 4-H Club
Update
By Kurt Cannon
In May, we talked about
the Milk Giveaway and Breakfast on the Farm. All Fair Entry forms have
to be turned into the Fair Park office by June 30th. We ended
the meeting with demonstrations by Photography, Arts & Crafts, and
Gardening.
In June, we held our
meeting at the Falk Farm. We talked about the 4-H float, which was in
the Newburg Parade. We came in first place. The theme was "4-H is Your
Pot of Gold". Thanks for all the hard work put into making the float. We
had the Ice Cream Giveaway at Newburg State Bank and the Milk Giveaway
at Tri-Par. Thank you to all of you that helped. 4-H record books are
due at the August meeting. The meeting was adjourned with Jeff
Halverson, Veterinarian, talking to the club. Everyone then enjoyed root
beer floats.
The
Washington County Fair is on July 26-31. Hope to see everyone there!
 Welcome,
H.O.M.E. Bed & Breakfast
House Of wheelchair
friendly Modification Examples
On Wednesday, June 8 Governor
Doyle declared Washington and Ozaukee Counties to be the capital for
the day. The Governor and his staff spent the entire day touring a
variety of businesses, tourist sites and human services programs. Welcome,
H.O.M.E. Bed & Breakfast and House Of wheelchair friendly
Modification Examples was honored to be visited by Marc Marotta and
staff from the Department of Administration. They toured our unique
wheelchair accessible design house, learned about the array services and
opportunities we offer to the public and met some of the volunteers who
keep this place going.
We’re pretty busy in the B&B this summer. But, we still have some
vacancies - so don’t hesitate to call if you need lodging for overnight
guests. B&B guests are coming from both coasts - New York and California
- as well as from Midwestern states. Their reasons for visiting this
area are widespread - business, family reunions, weddings, baptisms or
simply to just get away from it all. One adult daughter is bringing her
mother for an overnight stay primarily so Mother has the opportunity to
take a bath. The Waukesha County home she lives in only has a toilet
and a sink on the first floor and she’s not able to get up stairs.
Several groups are making use of our grounds, too. Our woods is the
site of a GeoCache. A treasure hunt that people from all over the world
participate in. In August the MS Support groups of West Bend will be
hosting their summer picnic at Welcome, H.O.M.E. Red Hats have
had pot luck lunch and made a red bra purse - cuter than you would
imagine!
We just received the donation of a beautiful Wurlitzer piano. Thanks to
a grant from the West Bend Area Community Foundation we will be putting
better heat in our 1,200 sq foot lower level making this space more
comfortable in the winter months. As a finishing touch we’re currently
seeking donations (cash or materials and skilled labor) to put in a drop
ceiling. We make this space available to others for family,
community, club, church gatherings.
 Mark your calendars: Saturday, September 10, 2005 Welcome,
H.O.M.E. Bed & Breakfast is hosting Party

Ozaukee County Dairy Promotion Committee) popcorn, beverages. Just 25¢.
Bake Sale - bakery will be sold by the piece or by the pan - pies,
jams, jellies, relishes, flavored vinegars and other goodies.
Gene Gryniewicz, a burly and animated professional storyteller from
Illinois will be sharing his tales while his wife, Celeste, teaches
children’s crafts. Take a “look and see” scavenger hunt in the woods.
Build a scarecrow to take home. Paint a t-shirt. Make a leaf
rubbing. Everyone is welcomed to attend this event. This will be a
good time to tour the house. Stop up and see what it is we do up here.
We’re
still collecting coffee cans and old clothes to use for the scarecrow
building. You can drop them off any time - if no one is around we’ll
see them if you leave them on the front porch.
To make the day a success for everyone we can always use a few more
volunteer hands AND baked goods !!!!!! Call Diane 675-2525 or Jane at
692-2554 if you’re interested in helping out.
Original crafters are invited to participate in Homemade Holiday
- - a weekend craft fair. Nov. 11 - 12- 13, 2005 Call Kay 306-0845
or Sally 675 - 0901 for details.
 Newburg
Lions Club
By President Roger Krell
The Newburg Lions started out
their Lions fiscal year with a Blood Drive at the Newburg Fire Station.
It was our third attempt and was not well received by the community.
Future blood drives are probably not a priority list unless we receive
Village and Town support.
Our next project is The Car
Show which is being held on August 21st along with the popular Village
of Newburg Rummage Sale. We are hoping the turnout will be even better
than last year. The Firemen’s Park will open at 7 a.m. with the
registration of Show Cars. Coffee and doughnuts will be sold at the
concession stand so we hope many people will start their day out in the
park. The Car Show has no admission charge and there will also be games
for the children and all kinds of refreshments. For more information
about entering a car in the show, please contact Chuck Hiller at
675-6833 or Art Seyfert at 675-2494.
The Big Raffle Drawing will
take place at the Newburg Fire Station on Saturday, September 10th. The
drawing will take place between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. with
refreshments being sold. Everyone’s invited.
Anyone interested in joining
the Lions Club, please contact me at 338-8204 or any other Lion member.

Attention – Attention – Registration of
Voters
By Clerk Cording
Due to changes in the State
and Federal laws concerning voter registration, those of you who have
not registered during the last three elections (last November, February
and April of this year), you are encouraged to register to vote on
Saturday mornings from 9-11 a.m. at the Village Hall. Citizens are asked
to bring their drivers’ license or ID card with them as it will make it
easier to complete the form.
This effort is completely
voluntary at this time; however by taking action now, it will save you
from long registration lines in 2006.
The Federal Help America Vote
Act of 2002 (HAVA) and Wisconsin State Statues requires all voters in
Wisconsin municipalities be registered in order to vote after January 1,
2006.
Your cooperation in this
matter will be greatly appreciated.

lengths by Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. Also, if you would like to bring
your brush to the municipal shed – you can do that any Saturday. The
