Q125 Celebration Community Meeting

Mark your calendars!!  A big organizational meeting for the Q125 celebration is scheduled for Wednesday, September 26, at 7 p.m. in the multi-purpose room at Rock County High School. The more we plan, the more jobs we find! Just to mention a few: clean-up, hosting tours of schools & churches, driving the shuttle tractors, monitoring children’s games, registration for car & tractor show, muffins for vintage style show, models & clothing for style show, able bodies to move picnic tables, etc., etc. etc.!  Please volunteer now so the committee has some idea of the numbers they can depend on during this fantastic event.  Don’t make them call you — reach out and be a part of your county! This is going to be a fabulous celebration. If everyone pitches in a little, then we can all have a great time & enjoy it!  “Many hands make work light.”
