GriefShare St Joseph is conducting a 13 week GriefShare program to help hurting people find help, hope and healing. The program, led by Rosemary Kephart, continues through Thursday, July 19th from 6:30 – 8 pm at St Joseph Church, Amery. A typical meeting will include a video, group discussion and a personal workbook exercise. All denominations are welcome and encouraged to attend. You may join in at any time during the 13 week program. Please register by calling the Church office at 715-268-7717. This program is funded by Williamson-White Funeral Home & Cremation Services.

Volunteer Opportunity Wisconsin Interstate Park is looking for Volunteers/Volunteer Groups to either fill in at our Visitor Center front desk, or to help with sweeping cobwebs from buildings/washing windows/etc. This would be open to anyone over the age of 16 and would be a nice addition to a resume, would earn work references, and could help high schoolers earn their community service hours. Not to mention, it would give people a chance to better acquaint themselves with the park in their back-yard. For more information on volunteering please contact Lacy Sellent at la-cyj.sellent@wisconsin.gov.
