- UMM and MASD students worked together on a survey this past year, which will be sent to all City of Morris residents. During the month of July, you will receive this survey in the mail about roadblocks to environmentally friendly household environmental habits. The survey appears to be lengthy but will take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The information will be very useful to the City of Morris. The data will be shared widely with area agencies and community members and will be useful in future decisions related to the environment. Please complete it and either mail it back or return it to one of the drop-off spots noted in the accompanying letter. Thank you!
- Cookie Night will be held at the Morris Public Library on Tuesday, July 1, at 6:00p.m. Enter the Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Contest, decorate a cookie, and enjoy stories and more. No cost or pre-registration. Call 589-1634 for more information.
