The Highground Veterans Memorial

🍁 Hello September! 🍁

As the leaves begin to change, a brand-new season of healing, community, and music is officially here.

Next week marks the official return of our Fall Vets & Guitars program! 🎶

This special program brings veterans together to learn guitar, share experiences, and experience the powerful healing rhythm of music. Whether you've never picked up an instrument before or you're looking to strum your way back into practice, there's a spot at the table (and a guitar) waiting for you.

Registration is OPEN, but spots are limited! If you're a veteran—or know a veteran who'd love to be part of this supportive musical community—now's the time to jump in.

Classes start Thursday, September 10! Email Theresa at [email protected] or call 715-743-4224

🔥 It might be hot outside today, but the heat won't stop us from talking about our favorite tradition of the year. Tickets are available for our annual Patriotic Quilt Raffle! This year’s masterpieces are stunning, handcrafted quilts made with love by our incredible volunteers. Every ticket purchased helps fund our community programs, helping us make a lasting impact right here at home.

🧵 Quilters - It wouldn't be possible without your incredible talent and generosity. If you've been working on a piece or have a finished quilt you'd like to donate, we would be deeply honored to feature your work. Drop your finished piece off prior to December 3.

Uncovering a forgotten story of heroism. 📜✨

When Erez Cohen traveled to Kraków, Poland, he was looking for answers about his grandmother’s Holocaust survival. He returned with an incredible, forgotten piece of history: the story of the Kraków Jewish Resistance.

This powerful journey explores the horrors of WWII and how the aftermath of the Holocaust continues to shape the lives of survivors and their families today.
