Wednesday Walks
As long as we have volunteer leaders and people interested to follow in this exercise, we will continue. We walk from 11 am to noon every Wednesday, and it’s easy – if you can comfortably walk your favorite trail/path, then you can lead others on it, too. We are looking for paved paths and generally flat terrain. Call Mary Beth at (262) 443-7291 to schedule. Looking for leaders in December.

We bowl on the second Friday of the month, starting at 2 pm, at New Berlin Bowl, 16000 W. Cleveland Ave. To join a team or register as a substitute, contact league secretary Judy Williamson at (262) 691-9391.
