Networking for Special Needs Parents
Caring for, and raising, and individual with special needs is one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs a person can have! If you and your special needs child would enjoy receiving group support and participating in activities with other special needs families, please join others in the commons at LUHS on Friday, December 2, at 6:00 pm as this group gets started. Children are welcome and will enjoy supervised activities while the adults have a chance to connect.
This is an all-inclusive group, welcoming any and all disabilities in whatever capacity they choose. Our goal is to create a network of parents and children in the Northwoods so that any and all families living with any sort of disability know they are not alone.
If you would please RSVP by November 28 to Lori Siegler at (715) 892-4086, or lasiegler@gmail.com. Feel free to also contact Lori with any questions you may have.

Christmas in Minocqua
The Christmas season begins in downtown Minocqua on Saturday, November 26! The festivities begin at 12:00 pm. The Minocqua Museum will be open, you can visit with Santa’s reindeer, meet and take a photo with Elsa and Anna in Campanile's "Frozen" wonderland, and shop for great art at their "Lost Treasure" art sale. At 12:45 pm, Santa will make a loop around downtown Minocqua on a horse-drawn wagon before arriving at Gaslight Square, where he will visit with the children until 4:30 pm. While at Gaslight Square, stop by for free children’s crafts. You can also enjoy a ride on the horse-drawn wagon, and stop by Veterans Park for a fire, hot chocolate, and cookies.

A wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season with your family!
