Just to touch on October happenings...

EVERY October has been officially proclaimed by the Mayor of Green Lake, Joe Parise, as Green Lake Women's Month.  A copy of this proclamation will be on line soon, so please stop back and check it out!  The October Women's Month Committee is putting together a special weekend just for you.  There will also be a Special October Event Calendar that will be available after September 19 to pick up or mail out.  More information will be in September's newsletter.

Green Lake always has great sights to see (the leaves starting to changing colors already), nice shoppes to find those special treasures in, delicious places to dine, cozy lodging establishments, and so much more.
