All members of the public are invited to attend the upcoming Community Service Fair at Nicolet College Friday, March 31, with the event featuring information and presentations by numerous area non-profit organizations set on building a stronger Northwoods.
“As part of the college’s mission to be in service to the people of northern Wisconsin, a big part of that is creating stronger communities to the greatest extent possible,” said Nicolet College President Kate Ferrel.
“By bringing all of these wonderful organizations together for one event, the public can come in and visit and learn what services might be available to them, to help them in their lives, and also what organization they may want to support through donations or volunteering time.”
Presentations will take place from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Nicolet College Theatre followed by the Community Service Fair from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. where each organization will have an information booth in the Lakeside Commons on campus.
