We held our Annual Membership Meeting during the evening of Sunday, September 29th, and our special guest for the evening was Megan Makos, Outreach Director for Assist WI. https://www.assistwi.org/. Megan spoke about all of the wonderful ways they help individuals with disabilities and their families share the wonders of our special local venues such as our beautiful natural areas and water parks.

The meeting this year was held at the recently renovated Red Oak Shelter (South Shore), and catered by Broadway Diner. Our President, Dave Barger opened the event, followed by Park superintendent Steve Schmelzer who gave a report on park projects that occurred this year and what will be needed for next year going forward.

Dave Barger conducts the 2019 Annual Meeting, the last of his presidential duties as his term ended.

Two board members’ terms have ended (Dave Barger and Sandy Snow). We thank them both for their dedication and service to the Friends and to Devil’s Lake. Although we are sorry to see Dave and Sandy go as board members, we are excited to announce their replacements. Please welcome Kristen Holm and Kurt Goeckermann!

Kristen Holm and Kurt Goeckermann have been appointed by the Friends as the new Board Members!
