A summer full of fun and recreation at Monroe Lake creates more than memories… it also results in a lot of trash! We need your help to clean up the mess and restore our lakeshore to an inviting habitat for both people and wildlife. We will be transporting people by boat to areas of the shoreline that are difficult to reach by other means.

Volunteer registration deadline is September 9!

The Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project strives to encourage self-education among prisoners in the U.S. By providing free reading materials upon request, Midwest Pages to Prisoners hopes to stimulate critical thinking behind bars.

This expressive writing class will be a supportive space for adult writers who are negotiating difficult topics, regardless of genre or experience. We will discuss writing our trauma from a safe space, self-care, critical reading, how to give and receive constructive criticism, what writing style works best for us and why, finding our voices, and point of view among other topics. At least 30 minutes of every session will be devoted to in-class writing. Writers are encouraged to share their work, but not required. Regular but brief out-of-class writing and reading will be assigned for in-class discussion. Maximum 15 participants. Minimum 4 registrants. All genders welcome. Some scholarships available. Contact [email protected] with scholarship inquiries by Saturday, August 22.
