I must apologize for my absence-I appear to have a little case of writer's block. For the past year, our lives have consisted of a flip-flopping between COVID, politics, and once in a while a big-city riot. I tried avoiding that in my blog by sharing bits and pieces from my own life. Now, I highly doubt you want to hear about me making masks, blankets, and towels, which has occupied much of my time in these cold temperatures.
Little towns like ours can get forgotten-and unfortunately do. TV and radio ads cost a lot, and it feels like our go-to newspaper-the Times Herald-has lately become just a copy and paste version of the Shawano Leader. (A side note, I heard from a lady in Wittenberg who said the same thing about their local paper-the Wittenberg Enterprise. The same company that prints their paper also prints the Leader and the Times Herald.) Long story short, I would love a little help from my readers. If you would like to get the word out about an event, please contact me. The event can be a school event, community event, club event (e.g. derbies, raffles), giving recognition to an individual, or (within reason) ranting about an issue in the area. Before COVID, I was quite involved in the community and it was easier for me to learn about events through the connections I developed in my work with organizations. We haven’t been meeting in the pandemic (and I really miss it, as do other active people I am sure). Yes, people can find out about events through Facebook, but you don’t hear everything. The people behind the scenes put a lot of work in, and not everyone can make events to see how they turn out. If I can make a difference in the amount of exposure an event can get in Gillett, it makes "Wendy's Words" worth the work I put into it. There are multiple options for contacting me about your event. You can use any one of the following:

We would like to invite anyone to Ash Wednesday services on February 17 at noon and 7 pm. All who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and have been baptized are welcome! We will keep yo posted on anything coming up and if there are other churches in the area, hope that they post also. In this time, there are many hungry to know that they can come and worship the Lord.
