All 2020 Meetings--Have been cancelled

Dear On Wisconsin Members,

From the President Wanda Lund

The board met last week to discuss the future of our club this year and the planned events.  We have cancelled all the events schedule until January 2021. We are discussing what possibilities we may have even at that point.  The Recreation Centers are open to meetings, but the limitations are very great.  No Music, No DJ's, Socially distancing,  No card playing.  We have mixed feelings about gathering in groups, so we have decided to cancel for now.   

The board has voted to do a donation from the club to local food banks who are really hurting and serving a much larger population than ever before.  We are donating $1000.00 and encourage people to donate gifts cards as well, for people to buy perishable items such as milk, eggs, and meat.  We are planning a drive by golf cart, fund raising event which we will tell you about soon. 

The board is also asking for donations to Operation Shoebox charity, that donates Christmas packages to our military personnel in Nov and Dec.  They need money to ship the boxes to the troops.  The address for this is Operation Shoe box 8360 East Hiway 25 Belleview, Florida  34420  or you can donate items requested by the  Troops, which are: baby wipes, unscented,  breakfast bars,  granola bars, cookies, individual pkgs, crackers, individually  wrapped, fruit gummies,  peanuts, pens, black or blue, slim jims, beef jerky,  individual wrapped of course.  We are so blessed, and want to share our blessings.   Also in need is the SoZo kids in the Ocala forest.  Judy Lindquist has more information on how to help these kids.

We are looking for more volunteers to help us plan for the 2021 year.  Please let Wanda know if you are interested in helping.

Please be vigilant in protecting yourself and others during this pandemic.  We are all in this together and need to help each other.  If you have any news you want distributed, please contact Jim Krause or Wanda Lund.

Looking forward to a better year ahead!!  ON WISCONSIN.   GO BADGERS. GO PACKERS. !

Wanda Lund, on behalf of the Board of Directors
