Directory

The Association of Retired Conservationists was organized by a group of retirees from the Wisconsin Conservation Department in the 1960's. By the mid-1970's, the WCD had been combined with the Department of Resource Development to form the Department of Natural Resources, and the retirees group had grown significantly, met monthly for lunch and began inviting speakers to address the group on issues of interest to the members. Today, the organization has more than two hundred members.

Next Meeting
July 10



Our July 10 meeting will our picnic held at LakeView Park.


Hey guys...
 
Roll out those "crazy, hazey, lazy days of summer" (or is "lazy, hazey, crazy?")
 
The first of our two summer picnics is coming up soon.  Lakeview Park in Middleton, starting at 11a.m. on Wednesday, July 10.  Rain or shine, as we have a great shelter with restrooms reserved, as usual.
 
I love these picnics.  Great turnout, no business meeting, just a very relaxing time to catch up with colleagues.  The din of conversations and laughter tells me you have a great time, too.
 
The lunch buffet from Angelo's is always bountiful and yummy: burgers au jus, brats in beer, chicken breasts in a light italian sauce, pulled pork,veggie burgers, buns, ketchup, mustard, mayo, barbeque sauce, sliced and diced onions, sliced tomatoes, sauerkraut, potato salad, baked beans with bacon, bagged chips and cookies  All utensils, plates and napkins provided.  In addition, serve yourself from coolers of beer, soda and water iced and ready.  Lunch is $20 and that includes food, beverages, shelter rental and dues..
 
Remember that you don't have to be a member of ARC to attend--we use the picnics to catch up with as many folks as we can.  So, PLEASE, help spread the word.  Bring your spouse, too!
 
Registration deadline is July 3.  Register Here
 
I'm looking forward to the picnic.  I hope you are, also.  See you there.
