As a result of a reader’s comment that it’s hard to find garage sales in Whitewater now that we no longer have a weekly shopper, the Banner staff agreed three years ago to begin a “consolidated” garage sale posting that is published each Thursday morning for the upcoming weekend’s sales. We will continue that service this year. This announcement will only be for garage sales (a sale of miscellaneous household goods, often held in the garage or front yard of someone’s house) in the city and school district boundaries. We will not be accepting, for example, ads for cars or other items that are not part of a scheduled garage sale. There will be a limit of three times per year for a particular property.

Those wishing to place a notice must send the information to whitewaterbanner@gmail.com by Wednesday at 8 p.m. You may include a brief description of the items that are for sale, the hours and days of the sale, and of course your address.

Thursday, May 4, 2023, from 4-8 p.m. Culver’s Night will be donating money towards the Whitewater FFA. Thursday is also Scoops of Thanks: $1 custards all day (Chocolate, Vanilla, or Flavor of the Day). The flavor of the day is “How Now Brown Cow.” Come and support the Whitewater FFA while enjoying an amazing meal.

Whitewater High School NHS members celebrated National Student Leadership Week by hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive, community service projects through a spring Silent Auction and developing a new program called the Big Buddy Little Buddy project.  Members traveled to Lincoln Elementary School on April 26 and shared reflections about the importance of demonstrating outstanding leadership, character, scholarship, and service with the 5th-grade class.  At the end of the presentation, President Aileen Perez shared, “These four characteristics will not only change our school but can eventually change the world.”  Children then had fun playing games with members outside at the end of the day.

WHITEWATER—May 1st, 2023—The Greater Whitewater Committee (GWC) is proud to announce Crystal Singer is stepping in as the organization’s new Chairman replacing Larry Kachel who is stepping down. The group is excited for Crystal to step up as Chairman and feels she is a perfect fit for this role.

“Crystal has been a founding member and strong supporter of everything we do,” said GWC President, Jeff Knight. “While Larry will be missed, we understand that his commitments to the School Board and his business are important to him. Crystal is immensely qualified to take over this role, and we are excited to see what we can accomplish under her leadership!”

Crystal Singer is the CEO of Whitewater Manufacturing, a 4th generation female-owned business whose goal is to maintain continuous improvement practices and procedures that enable them to meet and exceed customer expectations in the community. Additionally, Crystal is very active in the Whitewater community, serving on many boards as well as the GWC. 

“I am very fortunate to follow in the footsteps of Larry Kachel, who has done an amazing job over the past 10 years,” said GWC Chairman, Crystal Singer. “He cares so much about this community, and I certainly have big shoes to fill. I wish Larry the best in his endeavors, and hope to demonstrate the same level of effective leadership as I take on this role.” 

In her time on the GWC, Crystal has served as treasurer and supports the organization’s initiatives in many ways. Her dedication to the group has been instrumental in its growth, providing the community with the support it needs to thrive. Additionally, Whitewater Manufacturing has been an ongoing Title Sponsor of the GWC’s Discover Whitewater Series half marathon and 5k event each fall, which is an excellent example of how valuable Crystal’s membership is to the GWC.
