🎗 We’ve got some neighbors doing great things. One of those neighbors is The Blue Zone—an indoor pickleball cooperative. They’re hosting a polio benefit, and you’re invited »

🎶 Charmant Unplugged is bringing the vibes this Thursday in the Lobby Bar & Lounge. This week: Remix Duo »
Alright, let’s get the week started. Together, now. 👇
Winter in the Coulee Region can be tough on our homes, and one of the sneakiest culprits for costly damage is a frozen faucet. 💧 A burst pipe isn’t just inconvenient—it can wreck a basement or living space in no time.
That’s why I want to point you toward a local company I trust: Advanced Plumbing Systems. They can set you up with frost-free faucets and separate shut-off valves, which are the simplest way to prevent bursts and protect your home this winter.
They’re local folks, right here in our community, and they’ll treat you fairly. If you’ve been meaning to get this taken care of before the temps dip, now’s the time.
👉 Call (608) 796-9978 or visit plumberlacrossewi.com today to schedule your appointment before the first hard freeze.
Protect your home, save yourself stress, and support a great local business while you’re at it.

What’s missing in the Coulee Region?
Today’s prompt:
This week’s challenge is simple: check in on someone you haven’t heard from in a while.
A quick “thinking of you” text, a short call, or even dropping off a coffee can mean more than you realize. You never know who might need a reminder that they’re not alone—and that’s what neighbors are for.

🛋️ In The Community: theExchange La Crosse Area Furniture Bank
Here’s a local effort that deserves a little spotlight—and maybe even a sofa.
theExchange La Crosse Area Furniture Bank helps furnish homes for neighbors in need by collecting gently used household items like beds, couches, tables, lamps, and linens. As winter approaches, donations tend to slow down just when families need them most—and that’s where our community can make a difference.
If you have extra furniture or home goods that could help turn someone’s place into a home, theExchange is ready to put them to good use.
📦 Accepted items include: sofas, dressers, kitchen tables and chairs, small appliances, lamps, rugs, and new mattresses.
📍 Drop-off location: 1009 4th Street South, La Crosse
🕐 Hours: Mondays & Wednesdays 1–3 PM, Tuesdays & Thursdays 1–4 PM
📧 To donate: [email protected]
🌐 Learn more: www.theexchangelacrosse.org
Let’s keep the kindness going, Coulee Region—because everyone deserves a comfortable place to call home.
