Remember Hail Storm 2000?

A year ago on May 12, a fierce storm hit a 5 county area in northeast Wisconsin. While hundreds of square miles were affected, the center of destruction was the tiny town of St. Nazianz, WI in Manitowoc County.

If you were affected anywhere by the storm, assisted with recovery, or want to see how we have rebuilt since then,

Please join us May 12, 2001 for a Memorial Celebration!

Share our appreciation for blessings that injuries were not any worse than they were, and that miraculously no one was killed. Join with us to celebrate the support we received from throughout the country that gave us the materials and strength we needed to carry through!
