Presidents Letter Louise Dahlke It’s hard to believe that January 2020 is only 3 months away! Where has the year gone. Since I’m writing this before our State WAHCE Conference in Manitowoc, I’ll let everyone know how the conference was next month. Our new building is completed and we will have a Membership Ice Cream Social and tour of the building on October 11th. I hope many of you will stop in for ice cream, socializing and to see our new building. We will have some of our meetings there and even though it is farther to drive, I hope many of our members will attend the meetings. Our Brown County Fall Association Meeting is open to all members and is scheduled for October 17th at 9:30 a.m. at the new building. Some of our special interest sessions may also be held at this location and I hope that we will have a lot of our members attending these also, remember the sessions are meant for all members not only 2 per club as in the past. Our Fall Northeast District meeting will be in Outagamie County on October 16th, your club presidents have received this information. Included in this newsletter is the information on our BCHCE Autumn Gathering, the new name for our Annual Holiday Luncheon. Have a great Fall and I hope to see many of you at our upcoming events.

Home and Community Education to have many HCE programs and meetings in rooms when available. A BIG Thank You goes out to Neville Public Museum of Brown County in ac-commodating our needs.
