PAGE 6 -- THE OBSERVER -- THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2019 LEGAL NOTICES -- LEGAL NOTICES -- LEGAL NOTICES - - LEGAL NOTICES -- LEGAL NOTICES THE OBSERVER -- THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2019 -- PAGE `23 After more than a year of planning, countless meetings, and at least 100 hours of volunteer service, the new con- cession stand and storage building at the big diamond is DONE! The new building features a larger concession area with two service win- dows, two bathrooms, a covered patio area and increased storage for Little League equipment. Getting this project done has been a dream of many for nu- merous years, so it was immensely sat- isfying to see the first items sold on Monday night. What you may not know about this project is that it was 100-percent volun- teer driven. The old building was too small, getting very run-down and did not fea- ture any running water. Therefore, mem- bers of the Breda Recreational Commit- tee approached the City Council back in the summer of 2017 to discuss the need. With the support from the City Council to move forward with the project, Rec Committee members took the lead in setting up meetings to dis- cuss potential designs, review estimates, and begin a fundraising strategy.

Employees gathered on Tuesday to reminisce about the changes the com- pany has seen through the years. In May of 1979, DG started Com- puter Transportation Services, Ltd (CTS), in a small building on main street in Breda. CTS moved large mainframe computers for IBM, Honeywell, other manufacturers and leasing companies. As technology has changed, the MoveIt® Companies have adapted to other com- modities while still keeping the same core focus. Since that time, the company has grown and expanded. In 2008-2009, the company con- structed a new eco-friendly building, on the east edge of Breda. They moved to the new location in February of 2009, and celebrated their 30th year of busi- ness that spring. CTS rebranded their name to Move- It in 2010 to better describe what the company does. They specialize in logis- tics services for shippers of high value and sensitive commodities like retail fix- tures, scientific equipment, computer, and medical equipment. MoveIt cur- rently employees 30 people. Pictured above are MoveIt founder DG Partridge and wife Rose- mary.

READ THE FINE PRINT! IT’S YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW! Westside folks sought for Dow City 150th parade entry The Westside 150th Publicity Committee is taking an entry to the Dow City Sesquicentennial Parade this Saturday. The goal is to have 15-20 people to ride on the entry, throwing candy, distributing schedules and parade information, and having fun! Everyone who rides should wear a Westside t-shirt and be ready to wave and smile to the crowd along the parade route! All ages are welcome. The goal is to support our neighbors to the west and encourage people from that area to reciprocate in August! The parade starts at 11 a.m., and everyone should meet in the parade lineup area on the east edge of town. Anyone interested in participating can call The Observer, 663-4362, for more information. After the first $5,000 grant was re- ceived from the Community Foundation of Carroll County, we started to refine the project and “think bigger.” I person- ally had a desire to see additional bath- rooms closer to the grandstand. This was a result of many, many years of making mad dashes toward the bathrooms near the trail with toddlers who needed to go… and needed to go NOW. The large gift last year from West- ern Iowa Networks enabled that vision of additional bathrooms to become a re- ality. Without their support, this build- ing could not have been completed in the capacity you see now. Their generous gift opened the door to additional sig- nificant cash and product donations from Sparky’s One Stop/Al’s Corner, Toyne, Inc., Breda Savings Bank, Red’s Place, Trophies Plus and Snappy Popcorn. When you see representatives from these fantastic local businesses, please extend your gratitude to them for generously supporting this building and ensuring a strong future for ball games at Memorial Park. Finally, while I may have been a public face making pitches for this project, I certainly was not alone in roll- ing up my sleeves to get this done. Chad McDermott, Jean Ludwig, Nikki Mack, Bruce Boes and Brian Steinkamp all helped during the planning process, dis- cussing ideas and researching ways we could make it work as envisioned. Once the building started taking shape, Bruce went above and beyond, helping level dirt and plant grass seed, along with stak- ing off the area so new grass can grow, and pitching in to offer any additional assistance we needed. And finally, my wonderful, sweet and humble husband, Bill Vonnahme, spent countless hours constructing countertop bases, putting together shelving units, creating a table for scoreboard operators, and just about anything else you could think of. Add in Hagen Ludwig and several others who helped move items from the old building into storage, and then back into the new building, and you can see this was a total team effort. So next time you are at the ballpark, I hope when you look at this new build- ing, you not only take pride in its addi- tion to this lovely town, but that you also see the faces of the many generous donors and gracious volunteers who helped make it a reality.

READ THE FINE PRINT!IT’S YOUR RIGHT
TO KNOW!
Westside folks sought for Dow City 150th parade entryThe Westside 150th Publicity Committee is taking an entry to the Dow City Sesquicentennial
Parade this Saturday. The goal is to have 15-20 people to ride on the entry, throwing candy, distributingschedules and parade information, and having fun!
Everyone who rides should wear a Westside t-shirt and be ready to wave and smile to the crowdalong the parade route! All ages are welcome. The goal is to support our neighbors to the west andencourage people from that area to reciprocate in August!
The parade starts at 11 a.m., and everyone should meet in the parade lineup area on the eastedge of town. Anyone interested in participating can call The Observer, 663-4362, for more information.
After the first $5,000 grant was re-ceived from the Community Foundationof Carroll County, we started to refinethe project and “think bigger.” I person-ally had a desire to see additional bath-rooms closer to the grandstand. This wasa result of many, many years of makingmad dashes toward the bathrooms nearthe trail with toddlers who needed togo… and needed to go NOW.
The large gift last year from West-ern Iowa Networks enabled that visionof additional bathrooms to become a re-ality. Without their support, this build-ing could not have been completed in thecapacity you see now. Their generousgift opened the door to additional sig-nificant cash and product donations fromSparky’s One Stop/Al’s Corner, Toyne,Inc., Breda Savings Bank, Red’s Place,Trophies Plus and Snappy Popcorn.When you see representatives from thesefantastic local businesses, please extendyour gratitude to them for generouslysupporting this building and ensuring astrong future for ball games at MemorialPark.
Finally, while I may have been a
public face making pitches for thisproject, I certainly was not alone in roll-ing up my sleeves to get this done. ChadMcDermott, Jean Ludwig, Nikki Mack,Bruce Boes and Brian Steinkamp allhelped during the planning process, dis-cussing ideas and researching ways wecould make it work as envisioned. Oncethe building started taking shape, Brucewent above and beyond, helping leveldirt and plant grass seed, along with stak-ing off the area so new grass can grow,and pitching in to offer any additionalassistance we needed. And finally, mywonderful, sweet and humble husband,Bill Vonnahme, spent countless hoursconstructing countertop bases, puttingtogether shelving units, creating a tablefor scoreboard operators, and just aboutanything else you could think of.
Add in Hagen Ludwig and severalothers who helped move items from theold building into storage, and then backinto the new building, and you can seethis was a total team effort.
So next time you are at the ballpark,I hope when you look at this new build-ing, you not only take pride in its addi-tion to this lovely town, but that youalso see the faces of the many generousdonors and gracious volunteers whohelped make it a reality.
