Be prepared to tell the clerk how many truck .loads of leaves you want (a load is approximately 25 cubic yards), where the leaves should be dumped, and explicit directions to the property. The department will haul leaves a maximum of three miles in any direction of the city. Because of the new mulching machine, it is essential that residents do not put brush, garden refuse or flowers in with leaves. Only leaves are to be collected. Brush is not to be placed in the street- it is each homeowner’s responsibility to get rid of brush. Your cooperation will make the .fall leaf removal more efficient.

Building a better community... Devotes heart, soul

by Merrie Chapman Staff writer Bobbie Wilson has been an active member of the Nappanee Community for 16 years. She jokingly claims that the blizzard of 1978 drove her here from her former home in Syracuse. After nearly two weeks of being shut in at her lake home she and her husband Will decided to move to a quiet community where their neighbors were closer. They had admired the two-story brick Mutschler house, located at the comer of East Walnut and Madison Streets, for a long time. The timing for their move was perfect as they discovered the home was for sale. The couple purchased the home and Bobbie immediately settled into her new home and community. In those early years sheoecame politically active. .Through those efforts Bobbie has helped hundreds of people become registered voters. She has also stood behind the campaigns of many local elected officials, and served as the city’s political chairman for five years. Wilson also took an active part in the community and worked with the Nappanee Civic Theater as producer for “Bye Bye Birdie.” Her love for the rich history of the community shown through as Bobbie served on the Historical Preservation Commission for seven years. She spetn five of those years as chairman. During that time she was proud to have a hand in adding downtown Nappanee to the National Historic District Register. Wilson was among those who recruited local merchants to donate SSO each to raise the $1,500 needed to match city funds. In working with the city, Wilson served as the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce Director for a short period and Apple Festival Chairman for three years. As a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the American Legion, Bobbie has served as a member, officer and president. Currently she serves as Girls’ State VicePresident and the Poppy Drive Chairman. Wilson’s commitment to her

community is also evident through her work with the Nappanee Noon Kiwanis. Another project in which Bobbie takes pride, is her marketing research work for Bremen Community Hospital. Her hours of tracking medical needs throughout the Nappanee area inspired the building of the Heritage Medical Center, located on US6 East. Several years ago Bobbie and her husband moved from their beloved home to an equally magnificent structure on CRSO. It was then that she cut back slightly on her public involvement for a short rest. Once the couple were settled in and the redecorating was done, however, it was back to work for the ever-active Wilson. Through her many years of hard service she has continued to put her heart into each project. She is well-known for “giving her all” to everything from fundraising activities to recruiting volunteers and getting projects off the ground. When asked to identify the secret behind her incredible drive, Bobbie replies simply, “I love the activity.” And adds that people ask for her help “because they know that when I say I’ll do something, I’ll follow thru.”
