Pack the Backpacks–Donations Needed!

This year as always there will be backpacks at both the Northern State Bank and the Superior Choice Credit Union. The backpacks for grades Pre-K thru 5th grade will be marked and a list available as to what items are needed in each of them. If you purchase any items, place them in the appropriate backpack. Monetary donations are also accepted. Collected money will be used to purchase whatever is needed to finish filling the backpacks. For more information about “Pack the Backpacks”, check our Community Organizations page.

This collection is sponsored by Rich and Carol Becker of Mellen who have been packing the backpacks since 2009!

A Safety Reminder – We’re excited to see increased traffic and more visitors enjoying Mellen lately, but we’ve also noticed an increase in speeding throughout town. As we head into a busy holiday weekend, we ask everyone to do their part and SLOW DOWN.

Please:
• Use extra caution when driving through town
• Watch for pedestrians, especially in our Main Street and event areas
• Be extra cautious when pulling out of intersections
• Help keep our residents, visitors, and families safe

If you live in town or have friends and family you can park with, please consider doing so to help free up parking in some of our busiest areas throughout the weekend. Thank you for helping make this a safe and memorable celebration for everyone. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Mellen 4th of July Committee”
