Well, it certainly has been a productive week! 

Last Saturday we hosted the pancake breakfast for the Logemann Center 5k Run / Heritage Days. After our electrical engineering team sorted out the power demand and Errol provided the “secret sauce” for browning the cakes we were off. Chocolate chip seemed to be the crowd favorite. We had plenty of worker bees (literally), thank you to the all that attended. It really was a service project that felt more like a social event.

On Wednesday morning, Lucia, Cindy & I attended the Lumen Christi Employment Network meeting. We discovered a very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming group that works hard and works together to move past their job transitions. It was an informative and interesting listening to each individuals progress and the support of their peers, albeit somewhat lengthy. I’m happy we have developed and association with this group and I encourage you to refer both employers and employees to them.

Wednesday evening was the M-T Chamber Awards dinner at Shully’s. The event was well attended and well represented by Rotary clubs. Some of our friend’s in attendance; Dave Jackson, whom was recognized as Citizen of the Year and Lee Szymborski, recognized with a  Distinguished Service Award, while glaze of Thiensville was selected as the Small Business of the Year. All well chosen recipients. It was good food and good fellowship, Thank you for all those who attended.

Mequon, Thiensville plan for future together
By Jeff Rumage

Thiensville — Thiensville has always been a separate community within Mequon, but the two communities are starting to give more thought as to how their relationship is defined, especially with the joint Town Center effort about to come to fruition.

Elected officials from the two communities met for a special joint meeting at Shully's restaurant Tuesday night, Sept. 30, to discuss how the two communities can work together in the future while maintaining their distinct identities. The meeting came in anticipation of the Mequon Town Center development on Mequon and Cedarburg Roads — which is not only a major Mequon intersection, but also the gateway to Thiensville.

Town center talks

The upcoming Town Center development raised issues of traffic, community identity and how that identity will be reflected in the entryway sign across the street from the Town Center.

Several Thiensville board members said Thiensville's Main Street is already congested, which will be made worse when big name restaurants and retailers move into the Town Center. They specifically mentioned how difficult it can be to turn left out of the library parking lot.
