Valley View is partnering with Piggy’s, Pearl Street Brewery, and area musicians to do a virtual Moon Tunes every Thursday thru May 21st. It is our way to support our small business Moon Tune vendors. Piggy's will be serving their delicious sandwiches for $10, includes a beverage; with $1 is being donated to the Bar and Restaurant Relief Fund and $1 to the Musician Relief Fund. Find more details on the Moon Tunes Facebook page.
And in case you haven't heard, Moon Tunes has been cancelled, at least through the end of June. Sometimes being fair to all concerned isn't much fun.
The Rotary Works Board has been doing good in the community. Here are the grants approved at their April meeting:
$1000 - Abilities in Harmony – inclusive show choir camp for persons with special needs and/or those with limited access to such opportunities.
$3000 - All Abilities Trane Park Project – Climbing Wall.
$250 - Caledonia Ambulance Association – Bystander CPR Training.
Students from across the world are hopeful they will be able to spend a year in the United States. Would you like to host one of these optimistic young people? We are looking for three hosts for an inbound student; Mid August to Dec 10, Dec 10- April 7, April 7 to July 31. A brochure with more information is attached, and if you are considering this possibility, contact Nancy Schmidt.
