This storm and storm recovery portion
of this site was last updated May 26, 2001. As of July 1, 2002,
the continued hosting and availability of this site is financially
supported by local private business advertising. During the winter of 2003/04 the
original URL has been converted to a
St. Nazianz Wisconsin community web site
through
which the storm coverage portion will continue to be available, though
bookmarks for any pages will have to be updated to match the new URL of
this storm section:
http://stnazianzstorm.com.
Quote of the week: "No man can tell whether he is
rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He
is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has."
--Henry Ward Beecher

-- Happenings and tidbits --
Well, if you found us here, you realized our old address (URL) is no more,
and hopefully we can stay here indefinitely! This summer you can expect
this site to shift to a general community (St. Nazianz) web in which the storm
damage and recovery history section will become just another part. The new
site will contain community news, meeting schedules, and will offer email for
board members. If you have any ideas for what you'd like to see here,
please let us know at info@village.saint-nazianz.wi.us.
As of Sept 29, 2000 we are accepting paid advertising to support
expanded hosting of this site. If your business would like to be seen on
the internet and assist us in continuing to very affordably make the latest news
and photos available to your potential customers, please contact the webmaster
by email or telephone 920.693.3141 for details. Your name, logo, and web
page links could be here along with our current sponsors:

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high and
don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm is a golden sky
and the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, walk
on through the rain, though your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk
on, walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone.
We've now been viewed at least
