Dale Schultz in Richland Center, Avoca, Cobb and Linden on Friday, January 29

 

Senator Dale Schultz will be in Richland Center on Friday, January 29.  Dale welcomes all community members to join him at stops during the day, including at listening sessions he’s holding where he will be available to discuss any issue or concern.

 

Dale will start the day at 7:45, talking energy conservation with Dick Marshall of Strang Heating and Electric, 6 Veteran’s Drive, Richland Center.  Schultz will discuss the geothermal heating and cooling systems and other conservation measures with Marshall.  An energy bill in the legislature proposes new conservation and renewable energy standards for all state residents.

 

From 9:00 to 10:30, Schultz will be at Richland Patterns, 1001 Foundry Drive, Richland Center.  Schultz will be joining a stop by Mayor Larry Fowler’s Community Business Outreach Program.  Steve Davis of Richland Patterns will host the visit by local, regional and state leaders.

 

Schultz will make three stops in Avoca, including a stop where all community members are invited to join him.  From 11:15 to 12:15, he will focus on energy conservation in a meeting with Sally Leong, President of Radiant Window Dressings, LLC (www.radiantwindowdressings.com).

 

From 12:30 to 1:15, Schultz welcomes community members to join him for a Dutch treat lunch at Penny's Casual Dining at 105 N. 4th Street in Avoca.  If you plan to join Dale for lunch, please give proprietor Penny Sprague a call at 532.6863.

 

From 1:30 to 2:00, Schultz will meet with Bert Kienitz, who manages the Ringneck Pheasant raising operations of the Avoca Rod & Gun Club.  Schultz is an avid hunter, of birds in particular, and his Century Farm in Sauk County is a game farm.

 

In Cobb, Schultz will hold a community listening session from 2:30 to 3:15 at the Cobb Village Hall, 501 Benson Street.  Dale encourages all community members to come if they can and he looks forward to taking any comments or questions on any subject.  Schultz imposes no rules on listening session participants; he seeks a free and open dialogue of ideas.

 

In Linden, Schultz will again be available to all community members during a stop at the Peddler Creek General Store from 3:45 to 4:15.  Peddler Creek is owned and operated by Carol Custer and is located at 221 Jackson Street in Linden. 

 

Dale will end his day with a meeting at the cheese factory in Linden at 300 Jackson Street.  Schultz will be thanking plant manager Brian Schroeder for Sartori Artisan Food’s leadership for America’s Dairyland by making Blue, Gorgonzola and other world-class artisan cheeses in Linden.

 

Senator Schultz welcomes written comments from those unable to join him at a stop on Friday. Share your issue or concern by email at sen.schultz@legis.wi.gov or visit his website at www.senatordaleschultz.com.
