June 14, 2021 – Slinger, Wi – I wish to thank the Slinger Community for its tremendous support of our Knights of Columbus Council Tootsie Roll Drive held at Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly in Slinger.
Many customers, upon seeing our bright yellow vests, rushed to our volunteers to generously donate.
The Tootsie Roll Drive is used to provide help to the intellectually challenged children in Slinger’s Community Schools.
Our goal is to help improve the quality of life for those most in need.
Last year we were able to donate over $2,000 to the Addison Elementary special need program and over $2,000 to the SHS Functional Life Skills program.
In the past 15 years we were pleased to be able to donate over $40,000 to assist children with special needs. I would like to extend a special thank you to Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly for hosting us.

In an effort to provide a great experience and be welcoming to everyone, Washington County Insider will not publish comments and reserves the right to remove posts on social media/Facebook that don’t adhere to the guidelines below.

NOTES:
- Just because your comment doesn’t show up right away doesn’t mean you’re being censored. When you post a comment it must first go through our filtering software. If it fails, your comment goes into a queue for manual approval.
- Just because a comment or advertisement is on the site, doesn’t mean WCI endorses it.
- The above rules are not intended to stop criticism or dissenters, but rather to stop those who are incapable of participating in a civilized manner.
*Trolling: a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readrs into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll’s amusement.
