V PAGE 2-PLAINDEAtW-FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1972 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen Marge Connell 385-6344 385-3756 Association Urges Prompt Payment Of Dues At last Monday's association meeting, several items were under discussion. First, the poor state of the association treasury Bills were sent to all home owners several weeks ago, and so far there has been poor response. The association urgently needs your dues at this time. Approval has been given by the voting members that the association pay for the legal fees necessary in seeking legal counsel in trying to obtain maintenance for roads here in Holiday Hills. This will be quite a substantial sum of money, and the association needs everyone's support The im­ provement, if passed, will be for all of us And we all know just how badly this main­ tenance is needed The tractor is in working order and is available to anyone who would like to cut down some of the empty lots around their home. This will help in our annual mosquito problem, to some degree, and will also help improve the looks of your area. Also, the road grader is running. Anyone wishing to donate his time to improve the roads need only to be checked out on the machine by John Van Duyn. Your presence, as well as that of all your neighbors, is vitally needed at the June 6 meeting of the Nunda township annual meeting. We need to show our support to our elected officials as to how badly we really do want road main­ tenance. Another item under discussion, and one we've all been concerned with for some time is the lake. A law has now been passed, and is in effect, limiting the horsepower on Griswoldl-aketolO H P Safety factors alone make this an extremely wise decision. However, again, legal fees are still outstanding Anyone wishing to donate should contact Vi Abbink, the treasurer of the association GET-WELL WISHES Cheery get-well wishes go out to Elmer Mettelka, who is in Lake Forest hospital recuperating from eye surgery He would enjoy hearing from his friends and neighbors "BROWNIE GO ROUND ' I^ast Sunday, May 21, several of the Brownies and their mothers from Troop 409 went to a "Brownie-Go Round" in Johnsburg.

SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS As the closing of school ap­ proaches, it is once again time for school field trips and many of our students here in Holiday Hills have had the opportunity to go and see many interesting places. On Monday, May 15, our sixth graders from the Junior high enjoyed a very interesting trip when they went up to Milwaukee, Wis., where they toured the Milwaukee Public Museum. They saw fitfny exciting things from ,"nwm- mies" to a very authentic 'Nrid time Milwaukee city street" and thoroughly enjoyed thtir trip. Our fourth grade studettts from Edgebrook had their chance to "talk withj> the animals" when they traveled up to the Milwaukee Zqo,pn Wednesday, May 17. One of the highlights was seeing "Samson", the 523 pound gorilla. They spent much time in the beautiful "bird house", where there are no cages, And all the little birds have their freedom and fly around loose. They also enjoyed the train ride which takes you on a complete tour of the zoo and everyone ttending had a wonderful .. e. j Recently, the seventh and eighth grade art classes of Mrs. Toalson at the Junior high were very fortunate in being able to tour the Haeger Pottery Plant in Dundee. They were shown how the liquid clay was put into molds, fired, sanded, painted, glazed and decorated. The tour was very informative and in­ teresting and the art students really learned quite a bit. On Friday, May 19, it was "Graduates Day" for Bflly Mahon and his eighth grade class from Montini and they too made a trip up to the Milwaukee Zoo to enjoy all the interesting animal sights. Monday, May 22, was a big day for the Junior high graduating class as the eighth graders went up to the Woodstock city park in Woodstock to have thier class picnic. Hot dogs, pop and ice cream was supplied for each student. Mr. Weatherman was in full cooperation for their picnic as it was a beautiful day, and kids had lots of fun tossing "Frisbys" and playing baseball. There have probably been other field trips that the kids have gone on which we have not yet heard about, so let us know about them and share your good times with all our readers.
