Mandy Quatto Bircher

After battling with undiagnosed symptoms for several weeks, on March 11, 2009 Mandy was diagnosed and hospitalized with a rare nervous system disorder known as Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome. This disorder attacked her fast and hard. Mandy is in the intensive care unit suffering from paralysis and temporarily being assisted by a respirator. Mandy will have to undergo extensive physical and occupational therapy. Due to the uncertainty of her recovery time, it is unclear when she will be able to return back to work.

If you would like to help Mandy with her medical expenses and general needs associated with her recovery you may do so by making a contribution in person or by mail, made payable to:

Longwall Committee Meeting

For the past few months I have been gathering together with a small group of voters from Leef Township to discuss the effects of longwall mining. Our next upcoming meeting will be on April 6th at 7 p.m. at the township building in Marine. Seating is limited but everyone is welcome.
Since we all lead very busy lives I have developed this committee with the hopes that a small group of individuals can meet and then help spread the word to others. I know it is hard to attend for many of you and with the nice weather quickly approaching it may become even more difficult. If you would like to receive emails regarding the meetings or if you have questions on how you can get involved please contact me at ktracy99@msn.com.
Thank you!

Marine Polling Place

Please note a change in venue for the upcoming local election on April 7th. All voters in Marine will now be voting at the Marine Fire House. The Marine Senior Citizens building will no longer be used for voting. We are able to save money by consolidating the voters into one building. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Thank you!
