On Challenge Academy cadets helping Iraq vet
Posted on October 22 at 11:04 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I am the proud mother of a Challenge Academy graduate and would like to say that this was such a blessing for us! To think that we received this opportunity for my son to participate in this life-changing program that has opened so many choices for him that he never would have had before he attended CA... well, it leaves me with tears in my eyes, and my heart full of gratitude!
The staff at Wisconsin CA are so knowledgeable and have great experience in dealing with kids that really need their help. Not only do they guide the kids (Cadets), both males and females, while they are there for the 5 month residential phase, but they offer families seminars with a vast amount of helpful suggestions made available to help the transition when the Cadets return home again.
Each Cadet is has a mentor who visits them at CA and follows up with the Cadet for the 12 month post-residential phase.
If you want more info, please call or look at their website listed above. This is a non-profit organization where all of the "profit" goes to the youth attending there!

There are donation cans on the counters at Kwik Trips (and possibly other stores?) for Red Cross with lables that say all collections will be for our local area counties. Has anyone seen other donation cans anywhere? Please think about putting your change from your purcahses in these cans and it will add up quickly!

Dad never got a haircut... he had his ears lowered.
When Dad ate he didn't use silverware... he used scrap iron.
His mother would tell us to put on a clean waist if we got our shirts dirty, and if our hands weren't clean she'd tell us to wash our paddies.
Mom would always leave a tip for any one in need of it...plant your corn early!
