The Belleville Knights of Columbus, council #6630, will host a pancake breakfast on Sunday, January 10th, from 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.  The event will be held at St. Mary of Lourdes Hall, 221 Frederick Street.
The cost is $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for children age 4-12, and children age 3 and under eat free. 
Through a number of fundraising and other related activities, the council supports several programs including Coats For Kids, Apostolate to the Handicapped, The Belleville Food Pantry, Wisconsin Special Olympics and area pregnancy centers.

To keep the holiday season from becoming a time of tragedy, the New Glarus and Belleville Police Departments will mobilize for the statewide “Drive Sober Winter” traffic safety campaign from December 18 to January 3.
Our agencies will continue our enforcement and education efforts, like the Drive Sober Winter mobilization, until we attain our ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.”

Dear Editor,
Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone.
In a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney, with presents to give and to see just who in this home did live.
As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.
On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind, a sobering thought soon came to my mind.

It doesn't look as though it will be a White Christmas, unless you count the fog. But even without the snow, area villages are decorated with holiday lights.
From all of us at the<i> Post Messenger Recorder</i> and News Publishing Company Inc., we would like to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas!
