DHS Class Reunion

Mark your calendars! Class reunions are so much fun and this one will be especially so since it is a multi-class one. The 1982 Dixon High School Class Reunion--which will include 1979 through 1985--is set for Friday, November 11. Classmates, faculty, and friends are invited www.dhsrams1982.com email [email protected] or call Suzi (Haase) LaChance Reunion Committee Chairperson at 209-418-8796.

Library Storytime
On Tuesdays at 10 a.m., the Dixon Public Library offers parents and their little ones to join them inside for storytime. Children read, sing, and do a fun craft project. It is geared for children under the age of 8 or 9-years-old but if there are siblings or special needs that want to come along and could enjoy listening to stories, they are welcome. The activities are free. The library is located at 230 North First Street.

Past Parades

Thanks to Joe Azevedo and some highly technical volunteers for the Dixon History Society, numerous 16mm films of past May Fair parades have been uploaded on Google Drive and are now available for the general public to watch on the Dixon Historical Society website: dixonhistoricalsociety.org. They are from the 1950s.

In addition, elementary school yearbooks from Gretchen Higgins, Tremont Elementary and even Dixon Montessori Charter School have also been made available for public viewing. East Elementary School Yearbooks from 1965 to 1969 are also available. Please support the Dixon History Museum with an annual membership and drop by to see the new displays. It is located at 125 West A Street.

Dog Grooming

Patti Sousa-Liu, 10-year business owner of Clip-N and Groom-N who retired a couple years ago, is bringing herself out of that and back into business. She does not do cats but all size dogs.

"I really miss my customers and there is a huge need in Dixon, right now," she said. To schedule your paw pal, call (707) 635-3303.

City Council

Hopefully residents will have recovered enough from their 4th of July celebrations to come to the next City Council Meeting that is only the next day, Tuesday, July 5 at 7 p.m. As always, the meeting is inside the Council chambers at City Hall, 600 East A Street but is also on Zoom to participate from your computer or Granicus to watch. See the agenda and links on the City of Dixon website.

Memoir Writing

If you've ever entertained the idea of writing down your life story, the Dixon History Museum has an opportunity for you. Their next Coffee Hour is set for Wednesday, July 20, 3-4:30 p.m., at 125 West A Street and will feature Debra Dingman, Editor and Author of Learning A Living, Key Life Lessons Learned Over 40 Years of Juggling Jobs. Dingman will share her experiences with getting published by WestBow Press and being sold at Barnes & Noble as well as Amazon. Participants will be given ideas on how to find their inner author and are asked to bring three photos of different times of their lives.

There will also be a repeat of the popular Coffee Hour on 'Finding Your Ancestors.' That class will be on August 17, 3 p.m. For reservation, call (707) 693-3044 or email [email protected].
