This year, Step Up to Better Health has again joined forces with Greendale Schools and St. Alphonsus School to bring you the FUN Run/Walk AND a fund-raising opportunity. Step Up will share the profits from the event with parent groups from each of the schools.

New this year, lunch will be available for purchase at the end of the run/walk. Watch for more information on this fun option.

The FUN Run/Walk will begin and end in the lower parking lot of Greendale High School (6801 Southway). Event day registration begins at 10:00 a.m. Fees are $10 for an individual and $30 for a family (residing at the same address). Children 3 and under are free. Fees are the same for day-of-event registration and pre-registration. However, only pre-registered participants will get t-shirts. Pre-registrations will be accepted at all Greendale Schools, St. Alphonsus School, the Greendale Health Department, and Greendale Park and Rec until September 23, 2010.

Participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. We will run/walk rain or shine so no refunds will be issued. Click here for flyer (PDF).

Health Department Schedules Seasonal Flu Clinics

Clinics sponsored by the Visiting Nurse Association are scheduled for October 11, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on November 2, 2010 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Community Room located in the lower level of Greendale Health Department at 5650 Parking Street. No appointments are necessary. These are “walk-in” clinics.

These clinics are for those individuals age 9 years and older. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by their parent or guardian.

The fee for the flu shot is $30. The pneumonia vaccine will also be available at these clinics for $55. ( If the pneumonia vaccine is given after age 65, it is only necessary to have one shot. If it was given before age 65, another dose may be indicated after age 65. At least 5 years should separate these two shots.) The pneumonia vaccine is not recommended annually as is the flu shot. Seniors are reminded to bring their Medicare cards.

Greendale Health Department will be offering flu vaccine to children ages 6 months through 18 years of age. An appointment will be necessary for these clinics at the Health Department. Call 423-2110 to schedule an appointment for your child. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all individuals 6 months of age and older should receive an annual seasonal flu shot.

This year the seasonal influenza vaccine will include protection against the H1N1 influenza as well as two other strains that are currently circulating.

Disaster Assistance from FEMA Now Available for Those Affected by July Flooding

Heavy rainfalls in Greendale resulted in upwards of 5-inches of rain falling very quickly, with periods of torrential rain on July 22, 2010. The torrential rains in Greendale, and throughout Milwaukee County, resulted in numerous flooded streets and basements.

Flood victims living in Milwaukee County or Grant County can now apply for individual assistance by calling 1-800-621-FEMA or online at www.fema.gov.

After flood victims apply for help, FEMA officials conduct home inspection. If FEMA determines that the flood victim qualifies, they will likely receive a check in the mail within two weeks. Please note that not everyone will qualify.

There is an informational meeting scheduled for September 20 at 6:30 p.m. at Marshall High School located at 4141 N 64th Street in Milwaukee.

If you are unable to attend, you are encouraged to contact FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA or visit their website at www.fema.gov.
