Please join us for a Neighborhood Listening Session at the Waunakee Neighborhood Connection in the main gathering room, following the Waunakee Neighborhood Connection’s Volunteer Fair. This is the first listening session of 2017. They are held several times throughout the year at different locations throughout the Village.

The purpose of the listening session is to give Village residents the opportunity to meet informally with Todd Schmidt, Village Administrator, and Chris Zellner, Village Board President to discuss issues and ask questions. Topics of discussion can cover a variety of issues including Waunakee’s growth, improvements, conditions of the neighborhood, traffic, public safety issues, or any other Village-related issues.

We are eager to hear from you and your neighbors in this comfortable and informal setting. If you are unable to attend but have something you would like to discuss with us, please contact Administrator Schmidt at 850-5227 or tschmidt@waunakee.com
