Recap: Annual Members Meeting 2019
We held our Annual Membership Meeting over the weekend. 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.
Recap: Music in the Park 2019
Last August, we concluded our concert series “Music in the Park” that featured Madtown Mannish Boys. We had three musical acts in total: one for every last Sunday of the summer months and coincidentally, each one hosted on a different location as their stage.

Calling For Creative Submissions!
The Friends group is working on its summer newsletter, the “Advocate.” In our last issue, we introduced a space called “Friends’ Grotto” to allow Devil’s Lake enthusiasts to contribute fun and creative content to our publication. Do you have a poem, artwork, photo, or a favorite memory that you would like to share with us? If so, please send them in!
