A Letter From
Mayor Bryan Kennedy
March 27, 2020
Glendale Residents and Businesses:
It was just March 13th that Wisconsin announced a State of Emergency.
Since that date, there have been numerous orders mandated on a state level. Today, we are abiding by Governor Ever's Safer-At-Home Order effective until April 24th. During this challenging time, I thank residents and businesses for your tremendous sacrifice. I truly appreciate your efforts to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. By staying home, you're easing resources and saving lives. I also commend Glendale's leadership. Through this crisis, Glendale's City Council, City Staff, and Emergency Services are working together to maintain on-going communication and uninterrupted operations. Thank you!

To keep everyone informed, we've created a hub of COVID-19 Resources at www.WelcometoGlendale.com . Of course you'll find information on State Orders, but you'll also discover which companies are hiring, helpful resource links, and important communications.
Wis
As we work together to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, I'll be providing informational updates utilizing a variety of platforms. We know this global pandemic has uprooted society, testing our resources and operations on all levels.
I am working diligently with the six North Shore Community Leaders, the North Shore Health Department, and County/State/Federal Emergency Services to keep our community safe. I will continue to provide updated information.

We are monitoring the crisis closely. This will be a very challenging situation for all of us, particularly our most vulnerable. Resources will be strained, however my team is working on lining-up additional services. We may call on our residents and faith-based leaders to assist with food donations and errand-services.
Please stay willing to help your fellow neighbor.
In community,
Mayor Bryan Kennedy

100+ Activities to do with
your North Shore Kids
We've compiled an extensive list
of fun learning activities for school children. Many of our local businesses are offering pick-up and at-home delivery, too! Brass Bell Music Store will drop off an instrument. Board Game Barrister has curbside service.
Please Help!

  • Safer-At-Home means STAY AT YOUR HOME! Please, no sleep-overs or play dates, socials, or gatherings.

  • Please check-on your neighbors...especially the elderly. Offer to run errands for those unable to leave their home.

  • Please visit the WelcometoGlendale.com page often. We have made this site a centralized hub for COVID-19 information and resources. We add breaking-news frequently.

  • Please be kind and considerate during this time. Unnecessary hoarding will only create panic and deprive others of essential staples.

  • Please support our local businesses. Purchase from local retailers' online stores, order restaurant food for pick-up, etc. Together, we can minimize the economic impact of this crisis.

  • Please use "social distancing" and follow the CDC guidelines for staying safe (listed below).

  • Please like the WELCOME TO GLENDALE Facebook Page for frequent updates.

  • Please call 911 for emergencies only! The Glendale Police non-emergency number is 414.228.1753.

  • Please sign-up for emails at www.WelcometoGlendale.com. (If you received this email you may already be registered.)
