On Saturday, August 20, 2022, Bishop Sedgwick Daniels (right), who serves as pastor of the Holy Redeemer Church of God in Christ, along with representatives from Anthem Healthcare and the city of Milwaukee, celebrated the ribbon-cutting for the new CH Mason Community Health Clinic, 3500 West Mother Daniels Way. After originally opening in 2008, the clinic was first run under the supervision of St. Michael’s Hospital. After St. Michael's closed, Aurora Healthcare stepped in and provided a parish nurse to oversee the clinic. However, after the retirement of that nurse the clinic was forced to close, leaving a huge void in the community for the individuals they served. Bishop Daniels along with his advisory board endeavored to reopen the health clinic in the fall of 2022. The new health clinic will provide routine services for people living in and around Holy Redeemer and the surrounding community.

American Legion District #5 seeks to raise funds to repair landmark
ervoir Park, 626 East North Avenue, on the east hill of Kilbourn Reservoir Park; it’s the only American Legion Star emblem of its size in the United States. The monument template was initially filled with live flowers and plants and was maintained by the City of Milwaukee Water Works Department, but was discontinued in the 1990s due to the high cost of maintenance. In 2010, the live plants were replaced with the current concrete and stained glass but in 2014 it was determined that too would need to be repaired. In 2022, American Legion 5th District commanders met with managers of Milwaukee Water Works Department, regarding the restoration of the monument. The commanders were informed that the restoration would cost approximately $134,000 and that the Water Dept. only had $100,000 in funds for the restoration. The 5th District spearheaded the restoration project, by setting up a GoFundMe page called, “American Legion Milwaukee Memorial Monument” to raise the remaining $34,000. The 5th District would appreciate it if you would share or donate to their GoFundMe page, so that they can help save Photo by Yvonne Kemp this unique landmark that has been a symbol of Milwaukee's In 1931 The American Legion Milwaukee Memorial Monument was erected at Res- East side for so long.
