Big Blue Bash A Success!
Service League's biggest fundraiser March 3, 2012 at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center in Green Bay, WI. Attendees wore blue jeans to blue diamonds at the 19th Annual event where a great time was had by all and funds were raised to support Service League's mission of serving the children of Brown County.
This year we had live music throughout the night from Cold Train and Mike Garrity, and Paul Evansen took us through the evening as the night's emcee.
89 Silent Auction Items, 11 Live Auction Item, the wine toss, Plinko and pyramid of beer purchased by the 325 attendees helped raise $50,000 for Service League Projects!
We would like to extend a special thank you to our title sponsors this year, Prevea, Element Creative and DeLeers Construction!

Associate Corner - Kim Schanock
Service League Class of 1996
The Ladies of Service League of Green Bay
Life has an interesting way of coming full circle. Before and after my years in Service League, my career has focused on serving the students in Green Bay Area Public Schools as a social worker. I love my job. However, the educational focus of a school district cannot accommodate every need in a child's life. That is why community partners are so important and why I have such warm memories of my years in Service League.For example, I volunteered as a Service League member in the Back to School Store then and I volunteer as a GBAPS employee now. BtSS event is such a great example of what Service League is about: combining member and community resources to benefit the children of Brown County. Of course, fundraising is such an important component of hosting the Back to School Store and other Service League activities. That is why a group of Service League associates are looking at the possibility of bringing back a really fun event: the Packers Wives Fashion Show. The first step we would like to take is to invite each of you for a drink to discuss whether this is feasible at this time. On Sunday, May 6, we are getting together at the Nineteenth Hole at Oneida Golf and Country Club at 4 PM. We would love to have you join us for a no-commitment conversation about this possibility. At a minimum, we can enjoy each others company and exchange Service League Rummage Sale stories. Whether you are an active member of Service League or an Associate, you are welcome to join us. You may show up unannounced or feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. The Service League Class of 1996 will have at least 3 members there and we hope to see you!
Editor's Note: ASSOCIATES! Please let us know what you've been up to and your memories of Service League. We'd love to feature YOU!
