Spring is supposed to be right around the corner; for your spring cleanup, remember extra trash collection is on your third trash day of the month. Speaking of trash col‐ lection, have you noticed that the windy days are always on the trash collection days? If you have happened to find a surprise trash can in your yard since the last wind‐ storm, please contact the town office so we can recon‐ nect the lost container with its rightful owner. Both par‐ ties would be grateful. Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 28th ! The Town of Minden will be hosting a free film day at the CVIC Hall. The times and other details will be announced in the near future. The grand finale film being shown was chosen from the winning votes collected at the CVIC Hall Centen‐ nial Dinner Dance that was held in February. If you missed the Dinner Dance, you missed a lot of fun, good food, and the great Rosebud’s Dance Band. The Town Board and staff are always looking for ways to improve services to meet the needs of our residents; all input—good or not so good—is needed. If you feel something needs to be ad‐ dressed, please contact the Town staff or a Board member. We all are working for the good of the Town of Minden. Last but not least, stop by the Town Office to enjoy a cup of coffee and say hello to the staff. Enjoy what is left of winter or spring — you get to choose. If you would like to receive email updates from the Town, please stop by or send your email address to [EMAIL REDACTED] and we will keep you updated on all upcoming events.
