Our GIVING TUESDAY meeting was a tremendous success. What a delight to see such a wonderful turnout. Our members in attendance enjoyed the pre-holiday gathering and the opportunity to learn about 3 amazing charities. Thank you to all of you who spent your evening with us.
One of the highlights of every meeting is learning how our donations have impacted our chosen charities. We were honored to have Martha Kannas, Executive Director of Exploit No More, deliver her Impact Statement and how our donations of $10,425.00 have been used to provide support for individuals in need of comfort and safety.
Thank you to O’Donoghue’s Irish Pub for the wonderful meeting space and generous gift cards for our raffle. Our Flower Raffle was sponsored by Welke’s House of Roses of Elm Grove. A beautiful table centerpiece went home with a happy member for a special holiday decoration.

How To Donate
Charities Supported
Grace Landing is a St. Coletta of Wisconsin community for adults with disabilities within the Brookfield area. The three 8-bedroom homes located on North Avenue just east of Calhoun Road in Brookfield provide a special place where ID/DD residents can be in a safe living environment. They are overseen by caring and qualified staff, yet are appropriately independent as they live with friends and peers. Interaction and socialization within the community is available both on-and-off site through various offerings for the residents. It is truly a “community within a community”.
