Through June 5, you can help Team Ruby Red raise funds to beat cancer. Events include Cupcakes for the Cause, sponsored by Fat Cat Coffee Works in New Glarus.
The team is vying in the national Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) fundraising campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Late in 2020, New Glarus resident and business owner Jacqueline Gleason was moved to action when she learned about the struggles of a new hire whose son had been diagnosed with a rapidly progressing type of juvenile leukemia in 2019.

The last time I heard the words “Cuban Crisis” was in 1962, when I and my fellow elementary school classmates were being taught to dive under our desks. The intent, we were told, was to somehow mitigate the disaster should the Russians fire their nuclear missiles from Cuban soil. (This would be a good time for the younger reader to google “Cuban Missile Crisis - 1962”). I didn’t see any missiles in Cuba City this evening but there were a lot of Cubans and it was a “disaster”, as the much heralded NGM offense gave up 10 turnovers. No, that is not a misprint!
