2/22/12 – The former St. Patrick’s church in Beaver Dam has been sold. Praise Assembly of God has purchased the downtown building that had a closing ceremony on November 20th and hasn’t been used for Mass for more than six years. Praise Assembly, which was established in 1985, has been holding services for its 85-members at the Beaver Dam Area Community Theatre since the middle of 2008. Officials say services could be held at the church as early as this weekend.
If you have a cell phone, you might not have to pay for as many text messages for unwanted sales pitches. The state Assembly voted 94-to-nothing last night to add text messages to Wisconsin’s popular do-not-call list for telemarketers. The bill now goes to Governor Scott Walker for his signature. More than two-point-three million phone numbers are on the state’s no-call list — and over half those are cell phones. Charities and political candidates are exempt from the no-call law, along with companies you’ve done business with.
