Manitowoc Lutheran High School:
The Federation of Manitowoc Lutheran High School recently passed a resolution to continue pursuing a capital campaign, with the goal in mind of funding a new (second) gym, a chapel, and making improvements to the existing facility. The initial stage of the campaign will get underway in the weeks to come. A decision on when to begin construction will be made early next summer. The high school is excited to announce this campaign to our community because we have enjoyed being part of the community for 63 years. (Trivia for you: the first MLHS building was located on State & 6th St. and was rented to MLHS by the city for one dollar/year)! We also want to use this opportunity to let the families of our community know that they can consider us a potential school home for their high school age children. For more information call (920) 682-0215.

Balance on Buffalo:
The Salt Room at Balance on Buffalo is opening on November 1st. Why does salt therapy work? Salt therapy has three main characteristics: Dry salt is super absorbent, it is anti-inflammatory and it is anti-bacterial. Because the microscopic salt particles get deep into the respiratory system as well as into the skin, the dry salt absorbs all the excess mucous, allergens and foreign elements in the respiratory system, opens constricted airways and kills the spreading of bacteria and viruses. Hours: Tuesdays through Thursdays 12:00-7:00pm, Fridays 12:00-6:00pm and Saturdays 9:00am-3:00pm. Balance on Buffalo, 924 Buffalo Street, Manitowoc.
