The Chalet at Our Nawakwa

The 2024 Chapter Annual Meeting will be held on Monday, November 18, at the Chalet at Our Nawakwa, near Cornell. The meeting will feature a pot-luck supper at 5 p.m., with hot beef sandwiches provided.

The Annual Meeting business will follow at 5:30 p.m. It will include:

• Elections for Chapter Secretary, Chapter Trail Coordinator, and Assistant Coordinator.
• A review of what happened in our chapter in 2024.
• A preview of what's coming up in 2025.

At our September Chapter Meeting, members chose the Chalet at Our Nawakwa, after Our Nawakwa offered us use of the property for a chapter meeting at no cost.

The pot-luck supper will feature hot beef sandwiches provided by the Chapter. Please bring a salad, side dish, relishes, chips, or dessert, along with your own beverages. Supper will be at 5 p.m. with the Annual Meeting following at about 5:30 p.m.

Please RSVP to Vicki Christianson at chippewamorainechapter@iceagetrail.org if you are planning to attend. We need to know how many will attend the dinner.

Mill Yard Park Kiosk


Winery Kiosk

The carpentry crew led by Norm Card and Bruce France built two new kiosks for the Cornell Segment in October. These were installed at the two trailheads for the segment: Mill Yard Park by the Visitor’s Center and the Wisconsin Veteran Farm and Winery.

The Alliance is working on some standardized signage for kiosks around the state. These will involve trail-wide information. They will be providing this signage to the chapters. In addition, we will have local signage made for the kiosks as well. We have also contacted the high school shop teacher to have students make routed “Cornell Segment” signs to display below the metal IANST trailhead signs.

• Thank you to the kiosk crew for your hard work. The kiosks look great!
• Thank you to the City of Cornell for sharing the cost of the Kiosk at Mill Yard Park. We will share the kiosk.
• Thank you to Dan Osborn at the winery for sponsoring the cost of the Kiosk there.

This is our last event for 2024. Watch for information on next season’s events in the monthly newsletters.
