President’s Message: July 2009

Hello TETNA!

When you under take something like doing a half marathon, you have no idea what you are really getting into. You train. You plan. You buy a cute running outfit.

But it is not until you get there that it sinks in. You are part of something. Something big. You stand in your corral. You hear the National Anthem. I heard Mary Hulman-George say, “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!” Someone sang, “Back Home Again In Indiana.” Then, the starting gun. You shuffle for 38 minutes to the starting line.

October President’s Message

Hello, TETNA!

A great big thanks go out to some of our very own TETNA people. Thank you to Heidi Hudson-Mairet for organizing the Rummage Sale in June. What a great turn-out!

Katherine Lazarski did a fabulous job on Family Fun Day. The kids were out in droves. The balloons were flying and piñatas popping. Families who attended saw lots of new games and some really cool crafts were added this year. A jazz guitarist and percussionist set the scene. Thanks, Katherine, for all that you did to make the day fun!

President’s Letter

Hello, Tosa East Towne neighbors! Let me introduce myself. My husband and I moved to Milwaukee from Pennsylvania in 1996. I am originally from Indiana, but my husband is a Wisconsinite from Janesville. When we were starting a family in 1999, we settled in Tosa and have had the great fortune of finding the community connection that makes this area special. (more…)
