New Look for the Horizons Newsletter

The Village of Waunakee has some exciting changes in store for the future of the Horizons newsletter. The Village newsletter will be moving toward a more appealing, four color printing with the assistance of Hometown News. The first of three 2016 newsletters (April, August, and December) will be produced and mailed to the residents in the same fashion as in the past. The new format will still remain a resource on the Village website as well. Look for your April edition of Horizons to arrive in your mailbox on or before April 2, 2016.

BookScan Station at Waunakee Public Library

Patrons can now scan documents and photos at the Waunakee Public Library (located at 710 South Street) with a newly installed scanning station. The BookScan station scans documents, photos, and pages from books or magazines. It has two scanners to choose from, one with an edge that works better when scanning pages from books, and one that allows a stack of pages or photos to be scanned at the same time. If you need to update your resume, but only have the hard copy, no problem. You can scan your resume as an editable Word document and save yourself some typing.

Would you like to scan a stack of photos to a flash drive? Scanned items can be stored to a USB drive, sent to an email address, Google drive, a smart phone, tablet, or to our printer. They can also be faxed.

Waunakee on 2016 Safest Cities in Wisconsin

It would be difficult to get more all-American than Wisconsin. The Badger State is home to Harley Davidson motorcycles and the Green Bay Packers, plus it produces 25 percent of the nation's cheese. Whether you want to hit the open road on a chopper or sit back and root for the home team with a cheesy plate of nachos, you can do so without worry in any of these safe Wisconsin cities.

Waunakee was chosen #17 on the list of Safest Cities in Wisconsin for 2016. Of the 20 cities listed, only four are 10K population or greater. So Waunakee can claim that, according to the study, it is the third safest place with populations of 10K+.
