Hidden heroes seek pen pal partners
Hidden Heroes is a mystery match pen pal program sponsored by the Lakes Center for Youth and Families that connects youth to caring adults in the community. The adults write letters (i.e. a poem, inspirational quote, motivating story, etc.) to youth throughout the school year. The mystery part is that the youth do not know who is writing to them until the end of the school year, when they will meet their match at a reveal party. The reveal party is a pizza party hosted at the LC4YF where youth and adult pen pal matches finally get to meet each other, play games, and have fun getting acquainted face to face.
Registration is currently open. To sign up for the Hidden Heroes program or for more information, visit www.lc4yf.org, or contact Jenna Jones with LC4YF at 651-464-3685 or jenna.jones@lc4yf.org.

Wyoming Lions may roar no more
Submitted photoAmong many other events, the Wyoming Lions host Santa Days around Christmas time. Gifts are handed out to over 300 area children. Without an increase in membership, the club will be forced to close.
When current Wyoming Lions Club President Catherine Zerwas joined the club five years ago, she was excited to volunteer some of her time to an organization that did so much to help the community. The club, led then by pastor Ed Wheatley, had a steady membership that was slowly growing. However, Wheatley died in 2016, and club membership has since seen a massive decline.
“We are down to about three (the bare minimum required by Lions International for the club to remain active) people who attend meetings each month,” Zerwas said. “We host or sponsor a lot of community events, and the work it takes to make it all happen is more than three people can manage.”broadstreet.zone(48036);

Budget 2018 discussion
Some of the budget discussion was over the lack of funds to run the Parks and Recreation Department.
“We charge them to run the parks, but we give them no support and no money,” Mayor Christine Maefsky said.
One possibility that was discussed was selling city lots and using the funds from the sale to fund parks and recreation. Another recommendation was to utilize 0.05 percent of a projected levy to go into the parks and recreation fund for improvements, a revenue of roughly $11,000 per year.
Maefsky also discussed introducing an increase to the City Council’s education and conference fund. Maefsky previously attended a conference with
