Happy 2025! There is something special about the excitement and energy that surrounds the start of a new year. It’s like a fresh start, a blank slate, a chance to do things differently (or at least try). Regardless of how you choose to embrace 2025, the important thing is that you’re surrounded by loved ones, making memories and enjoying our small town! Here is to a new year full of laughter, love, and (hopefully) a little less stress. Here’s to 2025 in Bomber Country — let’s make it a good one! Here are some upcoming events and information to look forward to:

Windgrove Senior Apartments
The village of Windham would like to express its heartfelt appreciation to all individuals who provided assistance during the recent flooding of the Windgrove Senior Apartments on Saturday night into Sunday morning. We would like to extend a special thank you to the, Windham Police Department, Windham Fire Department, the Red Cross, Portage County EMA, Ted St. John, Hopetown, local Businesses, The Management at Windgrove, Diana & Katrina, and Windham School Superintendent Mike Dobran for permitting the use of the elementary school for emergency placement and busing. The sense of community that exists in our small town is truly inspiring.

Hope Town Hope On Wheels partners with Windham Police Department
Hope Town Hope On Wheels is super excited to partner with the Windham Police Department and manage their fleet! They have worked well together for years, and this is a natural evolution of that trusted relationship through our social enterprise, Hope On Wheels Auto Clinic. It’s an awesome way for them to contribute to the Windham community and support the officers who work hard to keep us safe every day.
I look forward to keeping the Windham community up to date with all the information I receive! Please contact me with anything you may like featured. The Around Windham column runs on the third week of each month, and I will need all the information the week prior. You may contact me via text/call at 330-283-2711 or via email at [email protected].
