EAGLE SCOUT TO HELP SAFETY TOWN

Brian Schanen’s Eagle Scout Project is to build new buildings and

storage carts for Port Washington’s Safety Town.

The buildings are 10 years old and show their age.

Past storage was not easy on the buildings and so special storage carts

will be constructed for safe storage of the new buildings.

Both Brian and Kiwanis have a vested interest in Safety Town.

Brian was in the first graduating class ten years ago.

And since has been an instructor at Safety Town.

Kiwanis now has assumed the lead sponsorship role since the

Junior Women’s club has disbanded.

Safety Town is a two week program where students entering Kindergarten learn about safety.

Catlin Zozak heads Safety Town, With her mother Cindy Zozac as Curriculum Coordinator.

Two sessions are held the first two weeks of summer break at Dunwiddee Elementary School.

go to Scholastic and putting in some time.

Scholastic Books in Brookfield is having another warehouse sale Dec. 12^th through Dec. 22^nd. 

During our sales we sign people up to volunteer by working at the check outs or greeting customers

and answering the phones.  We are able to pay our volunteers $10.00 per hour in books at the sale prices.
