Bowls, spoons, and napkins will also be available for residents who bring their own pot of chili to eat.&nbsp; (Which reminds me, if you've ever wanted to make home-made "Real Chili" here's a <a href="http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/bars/real_chili">link to a few recipes</a> -- we've made #2 several times.&nbsp; It's not exactly Real Chili, but it's close enough.)<br /> <br /> Hopefully, the ice rink will stay frozen for this new Civic Foundation event.<br /> <br /> Here's the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=127141197188&amp;ref=ts#/event.php?eid=248561859596&amp;ref=mf">Facebook event link</a>, and please join the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=127141197188">Civic Foundation Group</a>, if you're a Facebook fan.<br /> <br /> --<br /> <br /> Do you use the Whitefish Bay Library?<br /> <br /> The Library Board wants your input on their long-range plan.&nbsp; <a href="http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2ot037eg4n6h4br/start">Click here to take a moment and fill their survey</a>.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> --<br /> <br /> Finally, <b>Bay Ball</b> is going to happen this year on Friday June 4th at the new Harley Museum. <br /> <br /> Pulling off the Bay Ball takes a load of volunteers.&nbsp; If you could help out with publicity, raffles, logistics, baskets, reservations .. whatever, please drop an email to one of these co-chairs:<br /> <br /> Joe &amp;Lori Kampschroer:&nbsp; <a href="mailto:lkamp@att.net">lkamp@att.net </a><br /> Larry &amp; Rega Plaster:&nbsp; <a href="mailto:regap@sbcglobal.net">regap@sbcglobal.net </a><br /> Michael Pyter &amp; Mary Beth Jacobs: <a href="mailto:mjacobs10@wi.rr.com">mjacobs10@wi.rr.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3526601361014599851-4412984380766066638?l=www.villagespillage.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/VillageSpillage/~4/tprwWZF0SB4" height="1" width="1"/>Kevin Buckleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16815938761547005145hilltopper91@gmail.com2http://www.villagespillage.com/2010/01/bonds-ice-rink-skate-date-bay-ball-etc.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526601361014599851.post-14495381539624817602010-01-11T13:26:00.000-06:002010-01-11T13:26:29.251-06:002010-01-11T13:26:29.251-06:00Breaking news ..
