    All day
    March 1, 2023

    The Green Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for the Alfred T. Peck Grant. The Alfred T. Peck Grant may be awarded to one or multiple applicants totaling $1,000.

    A longtime supporter of the Green Lake Chamber, Alfred T. Peck was a resident of Green Lake for many years and owned Alfred’s.  Peck understood the need to have a fund that will support increased tourism development in Green Lake.  Through his planned giving, he made the founding endowment to what is now the Alfred T. Peck Foundation.

    The grant aims to assist non-profit, tax-exempt, Green Lake Area Chamber of Commerce member organizations with charitable projects and programs that generate tourism to the Green Lake area.

    To be funded, project applications must be submitted by March 31, 2023.  The application must describe the project in detail, as well as show how the project will benefit the community, who will be served, and an estimated budget.  Applicable projects will occur between April 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.  An ad-hoc committee of the Green Lake Area Chamber of Commerce will review applications.

    The grant application form may be obtained by emailing the Chamber at lisa@visitgreenlake.com, calling 920-294-3231, or visiting the Chamber office at 550 Mill Street, Green Lake, WI.  Applications are due no later than March 31, 2023.

    A New Look Inside Our Libraries

    Our libraries are growing and refreshing to meet the changing needs of their communities. Check out these upcoming and recent renovation wins.

    Brandon Public Library was recently awarded $473,000 toward their expansion project, which currently houses the Brandon Historical Society and museum, and will make the building handicapped accessible. U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that more than $255.7 million in congressionally directed spending for Wisconsin projects she supported has been included in the bipartisan Omnibus Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2023.

    Ripon Public Library is making strides toward renovations to the inside and outside of their location. Their “Thinking Outside the Books” capital campaign will create refreshed youth spaces, a teen area, and an interactive outdoor space to include a play space, performance stage, and stone steps to Silver Creek.

    Ethel Everhard Memorial Library completed interior renovations to their space in 2022, thanks to Village and Library trust funds. Stop in to visit their new space!
