🚮 Bag Your Trash – Help Keep Our Community Clean! 🌬️

With the spring winds picking up, we've received several reports of trash blowing out of carts in our neighborhoods. The main cause? Loose trash is not being bagged before it's placed in the carts.

We're asking everyone to please bag all your household trash before placing it in your Republic Services cart. Bagging keeps our streets cleaner, prevents wind-blown litter, and helps drivers work more efficiently.

Let's work together to keep our community looking great for our neighbors and the environment! 💙

📜✨ A Visit from President Lincoln… and a Mysterious Morning After! ✨📜

The Looking Glass Prairie Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently welcomed a very distinguished guest to the Shiloh Community Center—none other than Abraham Lincoln himself! (Well, his talented impersonator, but you’d swear it was the real deal! 😉)

He captivated us with stories of his election, his move to Washington City, the mischievous antics of his boys in the White House, the heartbreak of losing his son, and the weighty decisions of his cabinet.

The President passed around a 2-cent piece (minted from 1864 to 1873) and explained how "In God We Trust" was added to our nation’s currency at the start of the Civil War. Amid the country’s turmoil, concerned Americans wanted to make a clear statement to the world about the values their nation stood for.

But here’s where things get interesting… 🌬️🔎

The next morning, several flashing pieces from the roof of the Community Center were mysteriously askew. Could it be the wind? Or—dare we say it—did President Lincoln time travel back to 1861 and leave behind a disturbance in the space-time continuum? 🤯🕰️

Slowing down and keeping a safe distance in a snowstorm? Very mindful. ❄️

Knowing if you have anti-lock brakes before you slide? Very cutesy. 🚗✨

Wearing your seatbelt no matter what? Very demure. 💅

All Jokes aside, snow and ice are making travel dangerous. Please drive with caution:

✅ Reduce speed and leave extra stopping distance
✅ Watch for black ice, especially on bridges and overpasses
✅ Check if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes and use them properly
✅ Always wear your seatbelt

If travel isn’t necessary, please stay off the roads. Your safety is our priority. Stay alert, stay safe, and check local updates for road conditions. ❄️
