Highground Porch Greeters Luncheon held

The Highground Porch Greeters Luncheon was held Tuesday, March 16, at Calvary Lutheran Church in Neillsville.

Highground Volunteer General Manager Kirk Rodman welcomed 38 seasonal greeters and newcomers. He talked about what’s happening at The Highground. The lunch was prepared by Highground staff.

Nancy Rodman recognized Herb Henchen for his many years of greeting and service to The Highground.

Highground event coordinator Joyce Witt talked with the group about what could be found in the Porch Greeter’s basket.

The Highground always welcomes newcomers and invites anyone interested in becoming a Porch Greeter to call 715-743-4224.

According to The Highground, “The Highground is not about what you see; it’s about what you don’t see; the hundreds of volunteers working to make this a welcome home for all veterans and visitors. Volunteer and contributors are the heart of The Highground.  Our mission is healing and education. The Highground is a place for all of us.”
