PAW PAW - The Paw Paw Garden Club addressed the Paw Paw Village Board on Oct. 13 seeking funds for new planters displayed on the main street. Michelle Fay reported on the pride residents have communicated regarding the colorful flowers and the seasonal displays. The present planters are showing wear.

The Garden Club maintains the planters including purchasing, planting, watering and changing plants as necessary. They requested that the village support them in any way and are hoping for donations to cover the cost of purchasing new planters. Anyone interested in donating towards the cost of planters may contact Michelle Fay at (815) 627-2041. Checks may be made out to The Paw Paw Garden Club, c/o Michelle Fay, P.O. Box 548, Paw Paw, IL 61353.
