Summer is coming to an end but beautiful Fall is approaching. Aren’t we lucky to live in MINDEN!! Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas will be here before you know it so make sure to mark your calendars for our up- coming “Christmas in Minden.” I want to thank everyone for coming out and sup- porting our Town Events and for your nu- merous contributions to making them suc- cessful. Our 4th of July Celebration was a great success and thanks to the Carson Valley Inn & Model Dairy we were able to serve almost 1000 people! My year as Chairman is coming to an end and I want to thank the Staff and my fellow Board Members for helping make it another successful year in Minden. ~ Roxanne We live in such a giving and caring community. Anyone who has participated in the Channel 2 Share Your Christmas Drive-By Food Drive knows that our valley is exceptional. The Town of Minden wants to help our residents be a part of this great event from the convenience of your own home! The week of December 11th, put your food donations out by your trash can on your regularly scheduled trash day by 6:00 am and we will drive by to collect it.

PLEASE NO TRASH OR BAGS in your Brown Can. This includes paper bags, dog refuse and household trash. Brown cans are for yard clippings, leaves and tree/bush trimmings only. This material gets mulched at Bently and if trash is dumped with it, the Town Sanitation Workers have to dig it out by hand. YIKES! Please make sure to have your cans out by 6:00am. The residential dumpster program is for 2 requests a calen- dar year. Any extra requests will be charged per dumping. If you have extra fall leaves that will not fit in your brown can, you can bag them up and put them out for your extra trash day (Your third trash day of the month). No Hazardous Materials—Please contact the office for a full list. Please call the Town Office if you have any Questions or concerns. Jenifer’s Journal Greetings from the Town of Minden Administrative Offices. Big things are happening in Minden! I am pleased to announce the Minden Town Board recently confirmed the appointment of five mem- bers to a Main Street Minden Board. If you are interested in getting involved in this exciting pro- gram please do not hesitate to contact Interim Program Manager Sheila Kendrick at mainstreetminden@ gmail.com. Finally I would like to take this opportunity to share with you that another long time member of Town Staff, Andy Concannon retired in August. Mr. Concannon was a supervisor responsible for the safe and efficient delivery of the Town’s water to it’s customers, among many other things. Several residents have expressed their appreciation for the work completed by Andy and his crew over the years. He will be greatly missed. My sincere thanks to Andy for his dedication to the town. Andy truly was one of Minden’s best, we were lucky to have him. ~Jenifer Cold Weather is on it’s way! Don’t forget to winterize your pipes!
