Omro Thrift Store Twentieth Anniversary CelebrationThe month of October, 800 East Main St, Omro 920-685-0568This October, The Omro Thrift store will be celebrating its 20th anniversary! Our community takes great pride in the good work done by this wonderful organization over the last 20 years. During that time the store's dedicated volunteers have received countless donations of clean, gently used treasures. The sales of these items have in turn provided much-needed support for community organizations, charitable causes, and individuals in need in the Omro area.Back in the 1990s, a committed group of Omro citizens envisioned a volunteer-run, nonprofit business whose proceeds would benefit the community. Minutes of an early meeting, held in October of 1996, record a discussion laying the groundwork for the Omro Thrift Store. Members in attendance were: Gerald Smith, Mavis Smith, Audrey Janiak, Doris Strehlow, Elaine Peck, Elmo Merry, Pastor Edward Slusser, Carlton Buerger, and Janet Schettl. The group discussed their ideas for the store over the next few months, and eventually plans were made to purchase Omro's old Subway building. The Thrift Store opened its doors in October of 1997 and was granted tax exempt501(c)3 status as a nonprofit organization in 1998. The start-up was aided by grants from the Rural Ministry, Evangelism and Church Development Committee of the Presbytery General Assembly, the Special Ministries Fund of the Winnebago Presbytery and the Bay Area Agencyon Aging. A portion of the original financing for the project was provided through an interest free loan from the city of Omro, & the rest was financed through F&M Bank of Omro. Although the grant money received at the outset of the project was helpful, the vast majority of the mortgage was paid off through sales receipts from the store. In most cases, start up money provided by area churches and organizations was paid back as well. It is a testament to the hard work of the volunteers, the excellent leadership of the store's managers, and the wonderful support of the community that the mortgage has been entirely paid off and the store now operates free and clear. Born out of the dedication of its founders and volunteers, and fueled by community support and donations, the Thrift Store has truly flourished.Now it is time for the Omro Thrift Store to say "Thank You" to all the people who have helped and encouraged us over the last 20 years. To show our appreciation to the community, there will be a storewide 20% off sale during the entire month of October. Our store could not exist without the loyal support of our donors and customers. We look forward to having the chance to meet and talk with all ofyou! Come on in, meet the volunteers, and enjoy special treats and fantastic savings, along with drawings for gift certificates andother surprises!TheOmro Thrift Store is open Tuesday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm andSaturday 9 to 1.

Anne Hills has become one of the better known voices of the contemporary folk music scene, receiving awards and recognition for her live, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects, and her overall artistry and benefit work. Her song “Follow That Road” was the title cut of the Martha’s Vineyard Songwriter Retreat and has enchanted audiences for over a decade. Whether she is singing her own song, the words of 6 year old Opal Whiteley, or the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley; accompanied with her guitar, banjo, or simply a Tibetan bell, she puts her whole heart and soul into the moment. So, even if you haven’t become familiar with her voice, you won’t want to miss a chance to hear her songs and stories in person. There will be a potluck at 6:00 pm before the concert. This concert will be held at the Mountain View Community Center, at N3137 21st Lane, Wautoma, just off Highway 152, south of Mt. Morris.

Enjoy the musical stylings of Peter Fletcher in concert on Sunday, October 15 at 2:00 P.M. at the Ripon Public Library. This concert is free and open to the public thanks to the funding provided by the Friends of the Ripon Public Library.
Peter Fletcher is a classical guitarist based in Detroit and New York City. He performs over 100 concerts a year, and his recordings on the Centaur Records and Towerhill Recordings labels have been critically acclaimed.
Peter’s recital earlier this year, at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York, was extremely well received, and on May 6th, 2018, he will perform a solo recital on the Cathedral Cultural Series, at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, MI.
Peter offers an audience friendly, solo recital featuring repertoire that runs the gamut from the Renaissance Period through the 20th Century.
His current recital program features the Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 and Lute Suite No. 3 by J. S. Bach, Paganini’s exciting and ever popular Caprice No. 24, the fiendishly difficult Five Bagatelles by British composer William Walton, and the great Spanish masterwork Cordoba by Isaac Albeniz.

Members in attendance were: Gerald Smith, Mavis Smith, Audrey Janiak, Doris Strehlow, Elaine Peck, Elmo Merry, Pastor Edward Slusser, Carlton Buerger, and Janet Schettl. The group discussed their ideas for the store over the next few months, and eventually plans were made to purchase Omro's old Subway building. The Thrift Store opened its doors in October of 1997 and was granted tax exempt501(c)3 status as a nonprofit organization in 1998. The start-up was aided by grants from the Rural Ministry, Evangelism and Church Development Committee of the Presbytery General Assembly, the Special Ministries Fund of the Winnebago Presbytery and the Bay Area Agencyon Aging. A portion of the original financing for the project was provided through an interest free loan from the city of Omro, & the rest was financed through F&M Bank of Omro. Although the grant money received at the outset of the project was helpful, the vast majority of the mortgage was paid off through sales receipts from the store. In most cases, start up money provided by area churches and organizations was paid back as well. It is a testament to the hard work of the volunteers, the excellent leadership of the store's managers, and the wonderful support of the community that the mortgage has been entirely paid off and the store now operates free and clear. Born out of the dedication of its founders and volunteers, and fueled by community support and donations, the Thrift Store has truly flourished.Now it is time for the Omro Thrift Store to say "Thank You" to all the people who have helped and encouraged us over the last 20 years. To show our appreciation to the community, there will be a storewide 20% off sale during the entire month of October. Our store could not exist without the loyal support of our donors and customers. We look forward to having the chance to meet and talk with all ofyou! Come on in, meet the volunteers, and enjoy special treats and fantastic savings, along with drawings for gift certificates andother surprises!TheOmro Thrift Store is open Tuesday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm andSaturday 9 to 1.

Omro Thrift Store Twentieth Anniversary CelebrationThe month of October, 800 East Main St, Omro 920-685-0568This October, The Omro Thrift store will be celebrating its 20th anniversary! Our community takes great pride in the good work done by this wonderful organization over the last 20 years.
