Doug Watkins is in his fifth year as Village President, but he has been our Police Chief, Fire Chief, a Village Board Trustee, and is in his second year a president of the local chapter of the Lion's Club in addition the being an owner of Watkins Lockers an important business in our community. It is his drive to serve people and to serve our Plum City Community that gives Doug the energy not only to run a prominent local business but the Community as a whole. He likes helping and working with people including the young people in our Community. To establish a relationship with our Town's youth Doug worked with the Department of Natural Resources to offer snowmobile safety classes through the summer months. Normaly these classes are held during the winter break at school but Doug offered them during summer school. He helped the kids build a sled you could ride on the grass used it for demonstrations. the DNR thought is was great and even made a video of Doug and the class. If nothing else happens during Doug's tenure as our Village President he can point with pride to the renovation of our Main Street and know that he played a HUGE part in making this happen for our Community. Doug also had new benches put into our Spring Pond Park, and worked with the Plum City Garden Club to install hanging flower baskets. As the Loin's club President he helps on the many fundraising activities throughout the year. Even after being born here, graduating school here, raising a family with his wife Goldie here and running a business here this local businessman and community leader still counts himself lucky to live in this beautiful community alongside the people who work hard for it.
