Becca Murray Proclamation...
Germantown's own Gold Medal Olympian, Becca Murray was honored by the Village Board last evening with a Proclamation lauding her accomplishments. Unfortunately, she was back on campus at Whitewater to get re-oriented and back in that swing after her globe-trotting, but she will cherish this I'm sure.
Super Job, Becca!!

Robin Norton Commendation...
Robin Norton was awarded a Commendation recognizing her ten years of contributions to our community in her EMT role with the Germantown Fire Department.
We have many unsung heroes and it is nice when one or more can be given a bit of the spotlight.
Thanks Robin!!
