Several units from Potawatomi Area council are also attending, including Troop 93 from Holy Apostles. My apologies if we have missed any other units from this area.

Congratulations Father Dave!

The 9:15 mass on Sunday May 18 at Holy Apostles Catholic church featured Archbishop Timothy Dolan as a special guest and the celebrant of the Mass.

Archbishop Dolan announced that Father "Dave" Filut was going to celebrate the  40th Anniversary of his Ordination as a Priest this week.

The announcement was followed by a long round of applause from the parishioners.

We are very lucky to Father Dave  and his assisting Priest Father "Joe" Anderson in our parish and we wish  them both best wishes and many more years of happiness.

2008 MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY

Monday, May 26, 2008 is Memorial Day.

The only day of year we as a Nation have set aside to honor the men & women that gave their lives for our Freedom.

We must never forget the ultimate sacrifice made by them through out the history of our Nation. All to many of us have lost sight of the true meaning of this most important day. The men and women whose heroism we both celebrate and mourn must never be taken for granted. We must do everything we can to ensure that the generations that follow will fully appreciate the sacrifices that so many have made and the sorrow their families have had to endure so that the rest of us can live in relative peace and security. 

The New Berlin Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau is proud to join the Hoeppner-Horn Bros. VFW Post 5716 & Highland Memorial Park Cemetery to make Memorial Day mean even more to the Citizens of New Berlin.

The ceremony will start at 11:00 a.m. with the VFW making their ritual march to the Veterans Memorial.

Former VFW Post Commander Don Hermann will speak.

Other guest speakers will include Mayor Jack Chiovatero and State Senator MaryLazich.

This year State Representative Mark Gundrum is serving his Country in Iraq and for the first time may not be able to attend.

Members of the VFW Post will perform a rifle salute.

Alderman Ted Wysocki has arranged for a Fly Over, weather permitting.

New Berlin, Holy Apostles Boy Scout Troop 93 will help direct traffic, hand out programs & flags for those who attend.

There will be a balloon release with memorial tags. Ament Industrial Truck and Moorland Auto Repair will provide the flags. The event will end with a cannon shoot. The cannon supplied by Glen Porter of Highland Memorial Park Cemetery.

The New Berlin Community Band will perform patriotic music during the ceremony.

The event should last about 45 min. to 1 hour.

Please join your New Berlin neighbors in honoring their memory.

Good Evening

The Mayor has submitted a new design for Calhoun Road reconstruction, which will be presented at a Public Informational meeting on May 8th at 5:00pm at City Hall.

The informational meeting will be an open house with project staff members available to discuss the proposed improvements for Calhoun Road, from Cleveland Avenue to Greenfield Avenue. There will be concept plans, location maps and other exhibits on display.

I encourage you to attend to see the design and collect information to better understand this project.

Unfortunately, I have received little information on this newest plan and I am working hard to get the details.

It appears that the price tag has dropped, but even the Mayor is not sure if it includes all costs necessary for the reconstruction. I am hoping that this meeting will answer this question and many others that I have.

Please join me on May 8th at City Hall to show your interest on Calhoun Road and the reconstruction process 

Thank you    

Ron Seidl, Alderman 3rd district, City of New Berlin
