Save The Date, Voting Information

Hi Everyone,

Here are this week's updates:

Save The Date -- Coffee with Mayor Satya

Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway will be at Lakeside St. Coffee House, 402 W. Lakeside, on Tuesday, August 30 from 9am to 10:30am. This will be an excellent time to ask questions, share concerns and learn more about the Mayor's ongoing vision for our City.

I plan on being there and hope you will be there too.

Did the candidate you voted for on your absentee ballot drop out and you want to vote for someone else? You can, by asking the Clerk to "spoil" your ballot. Read more about how to do that, the (fast-approaching!) deadlines, and the rules by clicking here.

Dane Dances! 2022 

"A Season of Celebration" Dane Dances! is a family friendly event on the stunning Monona Terrace rooftop EVERY FRIDAY EVENING IN AUGUST. The much-anticipated summer music series is a great way to get down and dance with your friends, coworkers, or family. The rooftop gets shaking as the sun sets against the iconic Wisconsin State Capitol with the breeze of Lake Monona at your back while you dance. Feel free to bring a blanket, chair and picnic basket; seating on the rooftop is limited. Sorry, carry-in alcohol is prohibited. Dane Dances! promotes inclusivity with a fun night of music and dancing to music and bands for all ages.
