How have you been doing on our Art Around Town Bingo Challenge? Our new staffer, Madison Smith, has been having fun trying to fill her bingo card up!
Madison is a new Planner with DCED. She previously worked at Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission, and has passion for sustainable urban design for healthier natural and built communities. While originally from British Columbia, Canada (eh!), she says she loves Green Bay because it's a small city with big character. In her personal time, she enjoys outdoor recreation and hanging out with her two dogs (Bear and Pippin), her rabbit (Hershey), her hedgehog (Pua), and her dwarf hamster (Sky).
Can you keep up with Madison's bingo card? Remember to submit your cards to this page to be entered to win FREE MERCH from the #GBSwagShop. We've got coffee mugs, stickers, coasters, bags- you name it!

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!
On April 22, 1970, Earth Day emerged as a unified response to an environment in crisis — oil spills, smog, rivers so polluted they literally caught fire. Yikes! On that day, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets to demand a new way forward for our planet. Since then, Earth Day has been credited with launching the modern environmental movement and is now recognized as the planet's largest civic event.
No matter where you are, you can make a difference! So if you have a chance today, get outside and enjoy the beauty of our planet and maybe even help out. Several of our staff got out today to do their part and pick up trash in their neighborhoods.
To learn more about Earth Day and get involved in the digital event visit https://www.earthday.org/
Small businesses located within the City of Green Bay may now apply for assistance through the City's Small Business Pandemic Relief Loan Program. For more details, please visit www.greenbaywi.gov/sbprl.
