We value the time and energy you give to us. Please join us for free appetizers in the back room of Houligans Steak and Seafood Pub from 4-6 p.m. on Thursday, April 19th.Celebrate National Volunteer Week!"Volunteers are not paid-not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."

The Great Dane is in His New Home!
If you've been missing the statues Downtown, you can go to visit the great dane that is in his new home in Phoenix Park! "High Five" was the 'People's Choice" winner and was purchased, and then donated to the Eau Claire Parks Department to display permanently. "High Five" was moved to its new home, across from RCU, last week.
Thirty new statues are arriving and will be placed for all to enjoy within the next 3 weeks! |
