District Niners,

 

 

  • The waning days of state-wide election campaigning (governorship, state senate and assembly, attorney general and congressional representation) will end at 8:00 PM on Tuesday. Have you considered how consequential your vote may be if you do not VOTE?  Not registered? Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration at your polling place.   New to the district?  The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Know your polling location, check your registration, be prepared with identification and documentation of a recent utility bill for new district arrivals.  Where is my polling place?  Visit: MyVote Wisconsin.
  • Were you late for an event today?  OOPS…did you forget to set you clocks(s) back?
  • Niners, don't forget to meet the developer on Wednesday, November 4th at 5:30 PM at Vista West regarding the Livsey property on Gammon north of Crisp & Green and Dave's Hot Chicken.

Your well-being

How good are you at listening?  Do you interrupt when someone else is speaking?  Did you know that if two people are talking at the same time, one of them is not listening. Let's give others some grace and practice active listening.

Until next time,

Joann
