♻️ Got recycling questions? We’ve got a chair for you.

Join us this Thursday, May 7 at 7:00 PM for a casual (and interesting!) gathering all about recycling—what goes where, what actually matters, and maybe a few things that will make you say, “Wait… really?”

📍 Wi******er Area Historical Society
5270 Ann St., Larsen, WI (in Wi******er)

It’s open to the public, so bring a friend, a neighbor, or just your curiosity. Treats with coffee or milk served.

We’ll be talking about taking care of our community today while preserving its history for tomorrow.

Hope to see you there!

Apologies for late notice on FB - a few of us have been traveling.
