VOTING
The next election is Tuesday, April 7th. If you would like
to see a sample ballot, please see the receptionist. Copies
will be available by April 1st. We are a polling place here at
Oakwood Village University Woods. The polling location
is the Heritage Nakoma/Westmorland rooms. Please
enter on the Westmorland side (side with the windows) and
exit the Nakoma side.
Voters may still register to vote at their polling place
on Election Day, but will no longer be able to use a
corroborating witness to prove their address. A document
showing the voter's name at his or her current address
must be used to prove residency such as a current and
valid Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card, residential
lease, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government
check or government document. The law now requires that
voters live at an address for at least 28 consecutive
days immediately preceding the election, with no present
intent to move. Voters who moved in within 28 days of the
election will need to vote at the polling place for their
previous address. This includes moving within Oakwood.
If you have moved from one apartment or building to
another (for example, Tower 200 to Tower 300 or Tower to
the Oaks), you will need to register at your
current address. You will not need to
provide a photo ID at the polls.
Please call Stephanie at 230-4427 if you
have any questions.

EARTH DAY
is an annual day on which events are held
worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental
protection. Earth Day is observed on April 22nd each year.
We are going to celebrate Earth Month, offering a variety of
events focused on environmental issues. These
programs or bus trips will have this symbol next to
them.
On Wednesday, April 22nd you are encouraged to wear
green in celebration of Earth Day. Oakwood will also
have stickers to wear that day and will be available at
the Heritage and the Tower reception desks for
residents and staff who recycle.
There are a variety of ways to be “green” right here on our
Oakwood campus. Here are a few ideas brought to you by the
Oakwood resident green committee:
• Recycle: along with the many items you can recycle– see the
notices by the recycle bins located in your building, you can
recycle light bulbs, batteries, and more! Look for the recycle
sign on your materials.
• Use cloth bags at the grocery store
• Use cold water for laundry
• Turn lights out in your apartment if you are going to be out more
than ten minutes
• Carry your own water bottle (try to avoid
bottled water)
Contact members of the green committee with
any questions.

Great American Music: Broadway Musicals. Give my regards to
Broadway….. Is it possible to read those lyrics, let alone hear

Square? Have you begun to hum or sing it to yourself, with the
words and notes carrying you back in time to the Broadway of
George M. Cohan and the heyday of Tin Pan Alley? For most
people who've grown up with and shared America's musical
heritage, such a phrase opens the floodgates to a wealth of
memories and feelings because, that's what great songs do.
