Please read the letter in the lin below from Jerry Johnson, Owner, MKE Property Detailing, Hales Corners, Wisconsin and consider utilizing his services.
My guess is you will be as surprised as I was when I first read this unsolicited letter. Wow!
Jerry's community spirit, generosity, and neighborliness seems to be catchy these days in the Village of Hales Corners.
Meaning- that Suburban Asphalt Company in Franklin has been an awesome supporter of the Friends of Hales Corners Park & Pool over the last year just as MKE Property Detailing has been.
Suburban coordinated two fundraisers on behalf of the Friends in Hales Corners Park last summer and has helped numerous times this winter season with clearing the snow off the temporary Alyson Dudek International Ice rink and is committed to helping us raise the remaining funds for our projects in Hales Corers Park. Thank you, Terry Buss, President, Suburban Asphalt for your friendship, support and community spirit. You guys are great!
Last spring, MKE Property Detailing cleaned all of the playground equipment, the inside of the kiddy pool and the deck area at Hales Corners Pool in Hales Corners Park over a period of several weeks at no charge.
Now this spring, MKE Property Detailing is offering our residents an affordable service at their homes and at the same time raising funds on behalf of the Friends of Hales Corners Park & Pool and our projects in Hales Corners Park.

WATERFORD — Although the snow and ice have not come yet, those hoping to ice skate this winter will have something to forward to in Waterford.
The Waterford Village Board has approved the purchase of a 50- by 90-foot hockey rink and plans to have it built on a vacant lot at the intersection of Main and Milwaukee streets. An additional skating area for figure skating and free skating will be set up adjacent to the hockey rink.
No timeline for when the rinks will be open has been established.
Last year the village Department of Public Works set up a small rink in Whitford Park, which was popular with residents but was not widely utilized.
Village officials, staff and area nonprofits began meeting to share ideas and collaborate on events that will utilize several open, Downtown-area lots that the village now owns.
The village of Waterford is looking at ways to engage the public and create vibrancy in the one of the main shopping areas. Business owners have faced challenges over the past year during the village's utility infrastructure project.
The project is being done in advance of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's major reconstruction of Highway 20/83, which runs through the heart of the village.
