We are delighted you joined us for our Celtic-themed celebration of highland music, harvest feast and prairie drama. Amidst the rich sounds of bagpipes, the festival fire licked the sky with flames nearly 50 feet high. The event was a huge success with over 250 guests in attendence and proceeds exceeding our goal of $25,000. Your generous support helps nearly 30,000 children and their families and teachers connect to nature so they learn to admire and respect the environment.

The smoke machine will be used to train our firefighters in search and rescue operations. We have been fortunate over the years to obtain several structures for training. We place "training dummies" in the building, fill it with smoke, and have our crews enter the building to find the victims.

The camp was held at the Waunakee HS Fieldhouse June 25-29 and was a smashing success.

"Your Donation will play a valuable role in supporting young women and babies in our community. I wish you could see the transformation that takes place in our residents. A woman typically enters the home depressed, very anxious, and feeling abandoned and alone. We welcome them warmly and help them set personal goals to meet their needs. Within the first two weeks or three weeks, we begin to see their faces soften and they begin to smile again." -Sue Gruen, Director - The
