There’s a new BOOK WALK at the city park!

Senior Aireona Bouzek used some of her Senior volunteer hours to help the Elmwood Public Library assemble this month’s attraction. We thank her immensely for her hard work and positive attitude! The walk is made possible in part by a grant from the Nebraska Library Commission.

“Chicken Cheeks,” tells the story of a tower of animals trying to reach some deliciously fresh honey located high up in a tree. The moose’s caboose, turkey’s tushy and kangaroo’s keister are all stacked up and working together!

We hope that you and your family enjoys the book with a little bit of outdoor exercise and laughter!

Elmwood Rescue 

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation awards millions of dollars’ worth of lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and public safety organizations throughout the country. The lifesaving equipment purchased through these grants often provides an immediate impact on the recipients’ ability to better support their communities as Elmwood Rescue recently experienced during a cardiac arrest emergency.

Elmwood Rescue was awarded a chest compression system to help its medical crew respond to cardiac arrest emergencies in its rural response area. Shortly after the equipment arrived, the crew was dispatched to the scene of a man in respiratory distress. The team used the awarded device to provide continuous chest compressions until the patient’s pulse returned. Today, he is out of the hospital and able to resume a normal life.

“A big thank you to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for helping us purchase this lifesaving device!”

– Captain Ed Blunt, Elmwood Rescue

Dear Avoca friends near and far!

The Avoca Town Hall has been a big part of the Village for many years. Without it many people would be at a loss on where to gather for village events and many other occasions.

The last couple of years have been a struggle due to covid cancellations, funds are short. The Hall is in major need of repairs. Board members are working on raising money to help cover the cost of repairs that need to be made.

1. New Roof
2. Masonry work on the front of the building
3. Replacement of Deck
4. General Maintenance.

If you would like to help in our efforts to save the Town Hall we
would very much appreciate any monetary donation towards our goal of
$25,000.

How to donate:
