Team Reflection: Developed a “basic needs” closet for the Boys and Girls Club of Fond du Lac. Numerous “collection sites” were established throughout the community in order to obtain more than 1000 items, such as shampoo, conditioner, lotions, toothpaste and soap. The staff of the Boys and Girls Club will maintain the “Suds Club” closet.

Team Lakeside Rescue: Worked with local artists and volunteers to enhance the quality of the Lakeside Park pavilion and restrooms. With the goal of beautifying the pavilion and making the restrooms “family friendly” this project resulted in fresh and appealing updates and additions. This project included painting the walls, ceiling and bathroom stalls, restored stained sinks, improving the lighting fixtures and installing infant changing stations in the women’s and men’s bathroom. Additionally murals were painted in the bathrooms and on the stage walls of the pavillion.

The new area now includes seating area for moms so that they can safely watch their children. Playground equipment for children 6-24 months old was purchased and the area was cleared of brush and old landscaping.
