River Monitor Recruitment Drive
Ray Schwabe, Pewaukee River Monitor Co-ordinator, has announced the Recruitment Drive for New Monitors. PRP members have volunteered to distribute posters to local business announcing the Drive.
A training session for new as well as returning Monitors will be held on Thursday, March 22, 2007. Since there will be a large number of people attending, the meeting will be held in the Council Chambers at the Pewaukee City Hall (W240 N3065 Pewaukee Rd., Pewaukee).
At the meeting new Monitors will be introduced to the project through a powerpoint presentation. The regular PRP meeting will follow the training session. The entire program should last from 7:00 pm to approximately 9:00 pm.
Anyone interested in becoming a Pewaukee River Monitor is encouraged to attend. Please call Ray Schwabe (262-691-2737) for further information and to register for the training session.

Pewaukee Is Our Place
Jennifer Stoltz, director of the Pewaukee Public Library, has notified PRP that they would accept the personal historical accounts on CDs being produced by PRP.
Since a computer is needed to view them, the CDs will be made available to the public to use in the Library. They will be housed in the Pewaukee history section on the lower level across from the reference desk.
PRP hopes to produce 100 CD focusing on Pewaukee history with an emphasis on the Pewaukee River.

Members Review
The regular meeting of PRP was held on Thursday, February 22nd. Members were updated on the results of the meeting with the Village of Pewaukee Board of Trustees.
Because delaying the construction of the rain garden would seriously impact on PRP's activities for the 2007 summer, members asked that the PRP Board meet to review the situation and return to the March meeting with recommendations as to how to proceed.

Village Board Meeting
On Wednesday, February 21st, Mary Schwister, president of the Pewaukee River Partnership, appeared before the Village of Pewaukee Board of Trustees to outline their two step plan.
Since the approved site plan for the new Village Hall already included plans for the construction of a rain garden, PRP offered to supply both funding and labor for the rain garden portion of the project.
In addition, Schwister explained that since the river walk was not on the already approved Village Hall site plan, PRP would make a proposal to the Village Plan Commission as soon as details for the river walk could be finalized.
The Board of Trustees suggested that PRP wait to implement any of these plans until 2008 due to the recently revised directives received from the Wisconsin DNR regarding management of storm water during the construction period.

Partnership Expanding
At their recent quarterly meeting, members of the Pewaukee Area Historical Society (PAHS) agreed to work with PRP on the Pewaukee Is Our Place Project. PRP will provide CD recordings of the personal histories of long-time residents with an emphasis on the impact of the Pewaukee River to the community. These recordings will be displayed at the Clark House Museum. PAHS will also seek ways to use the recordings as a part of the displays being planned for the Grand Opening of their new exhibit building later this year.
