92694_6 Dear Medford and Surrounding Community Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery has been a part of our community since 1870 and has become a final resting place for approximately 3,000 people since that time. As the years pass, the elements have caused a great deal of wear and tear on the headstones, including buildup of moss and lichen. In addition, the headstones have begun to sink or tilt due to the ground settling. Others have actually broken and fallen off their bases. Five years ago, the members of Holy Rosary Cemetery Committee started a project to restore the cemetery. We are holding our annual fundraising campaign the month of July. We will only be doing the amount of work based on the funds raised. Work will be done section by section each year, beginning with the oldest section of the cemetery. Thank you in advance to our community for your generous support. If you are interested in donating toward this worthwhile project, please send your contribution to: Holy Rosary Parish, Cemetery Renovation Project, PO Box 503, Medford, WI 54451. 92694_6 Dear Medford and Surrounding Community Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery has been a part of our community since 1870 and has become a final resting place for approximately 3,000 people since that time.

The Medford Area Middle School Band would like to share a big thank you to all of our business/foundation donors as well as individuals who have supported the program via their Mattress or Kwik Trip Card Fundraiser. Individuals and organizations who have donated to the MAMS band program are: Medford Education Association, The Classes of 67-72, Patrick Marsh Foundation, Weather Shield LITE Foundation, Forward Bank, Nathan Bilodeau, AnnMarie Grant, and Purple Mattress. “If you see people from these organizations, please thank them! We have been able to raise about $8,500 through donations/grants and $7,000 through fundraisers. The generous support of our community has allowed us to purchase: 2 piccolos, 4 clarinets, 4 alto saxophones, 1 tenor saxophone, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, and a bass drum stand,” said middle school band teacher Kendra Junk. “These instruments are going directly into the hands of the students. The best part of being able to provide new instruments is how excited students get when they receive a new and working instrument,” she said. They consistently have instruments that need to be repaired and are often coming back from repair with a higher repair cost than the value of the instrument. They have several instruments in student hands right now that are functioning enough to work but are not in great shape. If you would like to donate to the MAMS band program, would like to read more about the condition of our instruments, or to see the complete list of donors please visit: https://bit.ly/SupportMAMSBand. “As always thank you for your support of the MAMS Band Program,” Junk said.
