Glenn Grothman, US Representative

Glenn was elected to the congress for the sixth district last November. Congress is in session about three weeks per month. Glenn returns most weekends and the week that congress isn’t in session. Glenn is on four committees. He feels the three goals for congress and the new president should be: One – get a handle on the budget. We have reduced the borrowing from 41% to 11%. However the government debt is $18 trillion dollars. That means everyone needs to pay $52,501.87 to pay it off. Two – get a handle on the increase in welfare. Three – solve the immigration problem.  Glenn’s local office is located at 1020 S. Main St. Fond du Lac 54935. Phone is 920-907-0624.

Karen Meyer, Agnesian Health Care

Karen Mayer is a board certified obstetrician/gynecologist. Keeping your newborn safe and comfortable is at the top of a parent’s priority list. It’s our priority as well. That’s why every baby born at Agnesian Hospital leaves with a sleep sack courtesy of the Kiwanis Clubs of Fond du Lac. We want to take every precaution to make sure our babies are safe. Using a sleep sack, along with the correct sleep environment, can eliminate some of the factors that might lead to s sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) tragedy. Keep loose blankets out of the crib. Newborns like being wrapped up snugly. The program started in 2010. We have given away over 3,400 sleep sacks. Other items used to help decrease infants deaths, babies sleeping on their backs and promoting empty cribs. That’s means no bumpers, blankets or stuffed animals.  Special thanks to Gary Miller and Jan Krug for their demonstration of the sleep sacks. All sleep sacks are purchased thru the Halo Company.
