New Horizons Update
As you heard in our October newsletter, OCW has “adopted” the New Horizon Women’s Shelter. During the
month of October we were able to offer our help by collating about 2,000 newsletters. Future events which we
will be participating include a spaghetti dinner and silent auction fund raiser in April and helping to stock the
pantry during a food drive in May. Watch in future newsletters for information on how to volunteer.
Wanted: Fudge Makers
Here is an opportunity for you! Where else can you meet new people, talk to old acquaintances,
and make homemade fudge? The scholarship committee is looking for volunteers to help make
fudge on Saturday, December 6. No experience required. Work shifts vary from a couple hours to
all day. Individuals who are interested should contact Mary Berling by email at
berling.mary@uwlax.edu or call 785-8722 to sign up for a time.

O’ Call. Stop in or stay awhile! Tribute to Outstanding Women
The YWCA will be honoring three UW-La Crosse women at their 21st Annual Tribute to Outstanding Women of
the Coulee Region. These women include:
Kathy Hanratty – Activist Award
Susan Butterfield – Office Support Staff Award
Beth Cherne – Arts Award
The outstanding achievement awards are given in recognition of the individual’s high level of personal or
professional accomplishment and contribution to life in the Coulee Region Community. This event takes place on
November 13, 2003 in the South Hall Ballroom, La Crosse Center with activities starting at 5:30 p.m. For more
information about this event, contact Sharie Brunk 5-6950. Individual tickets may be purchased at the YWCA, or
call 781-2783 for information.
