North Shore Fire/Rescue is partnering with the fourteen Milwaukee County Fire Departments and the Hunger Task Force to collect 100,000 jars of peanut butter for Hunger Task Force. Peanut Butter is a staple in Hunger Task Force's distribution of food because it is kid friendly,
 nutritious and easy to store. Starting Thursday, January 17, all sixty fire stations in Milwaukee County will be collection points for Hunger Task Force's Peanut Butter Drive. When you are out doing your grocery shopping next, please buy an extra jar of peanut butter and drop it off at Station #5, located at 665 E. Brown Deer Road in Bayside, or drop it off right at Village Hall. |
| Spring Primary | |
Election season is upon us again (did it leave?). The public test of the election equipment for the February 19 Primary Election will be held on February 11, 2013 at 8:00 am, at Village Hall.
For those who are unable to vote on February 19, or wish to utilize absentee voting, the Absentee voting process at Village Hall begins on February 4 and ends on February 15 at 5:00 pm. You can stop into Village Hall during regular business hours to vote.
New Voting Location
Beginning with the Spring Primary election, the Village's voting location will be moved to the gymnasium of Bayside Middle School, located on the north end of the building. Residents will be able to park in the north parking lot, located off E. Ellsworth Lane, and will have direct access to the voting location.
The new location offers several benefits for both election officials and the school, including increased room, greater security benefits, and easier in and out access for voters.

| Flu Season | | |
Over 41 states (including WI) have reported widespread high levels of influenza-like-illness. The flu has peaked earlier than previous flu seasons, and while the number of cases is higher than the last several years, the actual number is more typical of a flu season.
The flu vaccine is moderately effective ( 62%) against the flu strains circulating. What does this mean for us? If you haven't had your flu vaccine yet, try to get it. While we encourage you to get your vaccine, the North Shore Health Department no longer has a supply of adult flu vaccine. We do have a supply of children's flu vaccine. Practice good hygiene: wash your hands frequently, cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm, and stay home if you are sick!
