News from Browerville's Past

25 Years Ago

Topsy May and Geri Jagush are two Browerville women with a lot going for them. They head the Christian Women, a service organization at Christ the King parish, which reaches deep into the community. This group goes back sixty years to the former St. Peter’s parish. Every woman in the parish is automatically a member, and meetings are held quarterly.

Cheese is an important basic food for people of all ages, and Superintendent Larry Werder, speaking to the members of the school board on Monday, February 12, wants all the Browerville students to get enough. Up to now, the federal government has provided literally a ton of cheese for the school year. Starting in the fall, the government is encouraging schools to purchase cheese pizzas that come with a rebate offer that would amount to $600. Werder said the school can do this as well as purchase bulk processed cheese as they have in the past. However, it would cost upwards of four to five thousand dollars, less the rebate money.
