Wyoming Trivia Wyoming Trivia is an article that we intend to include in the Newsletter for the next few months to see how much our residents know about the town we live in and to give our newcomers a short history lesson. There will by a question this month. Anyone knowing the answer may call or stop by Town Hall and received a Town of Wyoming pen.

Wyoming Park Spring is right around the corner, Easter is just three (3) weeks away, and our Wyoming Park is waking up for the new season. The Town expects to have the bathrooms open and usable within the next couple of weeks. Start planning your spring and summer events at the pavilion and give Town Hall a call to make a reservation. The weekends fill up quickly so don’t delay. In fact, there are already four (4) reservations for weddings at the pavilion, one in April and three in May. Wyoming Park is a beautiful backdrop for almost any occasion. HAPPY SPRING!!!
Low Sodium Recipes Needed The Town has been approached by a mother with a handicapped daughter who needs to be on a low sodium diet. She is requesting any good low sodium recipes that she can try for her daughter as well as possibly publish in a low sodium cookbook. Proceeds from the sale of the cookbook could help to support the family as she is the head if the family and had to give up her job when her daughter was in the accident which caused the handicap. If any of you have recipes you are willing to share, we have some forms in Town Hall you can fill out and sign to give permission for your recipe to be published. Give us a call or stop by. If you can’t get here, forms can be mailed to you. Thanks for your support.

Message from Chief Manuszak The Wyoming Police Department and the Nixle Company have teamed up to bring important news to anyone that is interested in signing up for the information. The Nixle Company offers a free community notification system through cell phones via text messages, email, or by your website. There is no charge to the police department or to the individual signing up for the service. The only charge you may receive would be from your cell phone provider for a text message. The information is loaded in to the system by the police department or Town Hall personnel through Nixle's website and then is sent to anyone that registers to receive the information. The information has different levels of the type of message. It can range from a serious public safety issue or just letting you know about a community event (Pride Day, Peach Festival, and Halloween). If you would like to register for the service or obtain more information, just log on to www.nixle.com and follow the instructions. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at (302) 697-7960 at extension 16 if I am not in the office. You can also contact me via email at charles.manuszak@cj.state.de.us. I hope you find the program helpful to you. Thank you for your consideration in participating in this program.
