The Legislature has its own website that can tell you who represents you in the state Senate and Assembly. At legis.wisconsin.gov there is a box labeled “Who Are My Legislators?” There, you can enter your street address and the result will include a map that shows you where you live within both the Assembly and Senate districts — as well as your senator and representative, their office phone number, and a link to go to each lawmaker’s individual webpage. The webpage for each legislator has their email address, the committees on which they serve, the bills they have sponsored, a little biographical information, and the names of their staff members in case you want to contact them with a question or comment. From UpNorthNews.

The Caring Closet will be open Saturday, January 3rd, 10-noon and Wednesday, January 7th, 5-7 pm. Our clothing and bedding are free for your use. Because of the awesome donations we've received we are able to help others. We accept donations during these open times. We're located in the New Life Nazarene Church basement at 1002 8th St in Menomonie. From the Menomonie Caring Closet Facebook page.
