You’re invited.... To take a Plunge into the Economics of Waushara County! The ThedaCare led Wild Rose Community Health Action Team (CHAT) invites you to take part in this day-long learning opportunity on Wednesday, January 25, 2017. Poverty was identified as a top priority in the Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan and the Wild Rose CHAT chose poverty as its first initiative to address. Think of a Plunge as a day-long adult field trip of exploration and learning! During the course of the day you will hear from experts who will share their thoughts and expertise on the root causes of poverty and how the local economy affects everyone. You will be joined by leaders from all sectors of the community including education, business, government, faith organizations, healthcare, non-profits and philanthropy who will all learn together. In the afternoon CAP Services will take attendees through a poverty simulation. The day will begin promptly at 8 a.m. at Wild Rose High School. A healthy breakfast and lunch will be provided. Dress is casual, comfortable shoes and clothes are encouraged. We will travel to different places via yellow school bus so comfort is important! This will be a full day ending at 4:00 pm. We are limited in the number of attendees so please RSVP early. More details will be available two weeks prior to the Plunge. At this time to attend, please RSVP via email to Kaye Thompson at kaye.thompson@thedacare.org. If you need further information please contact Kaye at 920-830-5949. Please plan on sharing this unique experience as together we take a Plunge into Economics of Waushara County!
