Recognizing Our Automotive Members!
...from front cover
We LOVE our automobiles and most of us don’t know what we’d do without them. The automobile
is a source of independence and freedom, we collect them and cherish them and they remind us
of days gone by. Our CMS members are able to sell us new and used cars, keep them operating
properly to get us safely where we want to go. They can even make a sad looking shell of a car
come to life in a total restoration.
Kennedy Ford has certainly seen its share of changes in the automobile industry over the last 50
years. 2015 marks their 50th anniversary as a Ford dealership. Mike Kennedy, the current owner/
manager, marks the third generation of this successful family owned and operated business.
All of these businesses understand the importance of good, old-fashioned customer service and
that approach has served them well with generations of returning customers and long-tenured
employees. When considering where to go for your next new or used car purchase or for a reliable
and good quality repair shop, look no further than your fellow CMS members right here in
Sheboygan Falls. And Remember to Shop Falls First for all of your automotive needs.

Yankee Garden Overhaul
Over the last two years, the Yankee Garden has seen a lot of change. New crushed stone was
laid down in the garden path and a new bench was donated which allows passersby to relax
and enjoy the garden. A new free library was donated and installed and additional stepping
stones were put in place to allow garden viewing from several vantage points. Most recently,
the dedicated volunteer Yankee Garden team came together to overhaul the back portion
of the garden, as it had become overgrown. “It was a lot of work to take out nearly all the
plants, dig out the roots and till the soil, but we are now ready to start planting for next year”,
said Marie Pecquex, one of the volunteers that works at the garden. Next year the back portion
of the garden will be replanted and it will begin to look fresh and new.
By Jim Pecquex, Master Gardener, Yankee Garden Project Manager
