Door County Youth
In Government Group
One of the
most enjoyable privileges I have as a state representative is meeting
with civic minded youth such as the members of the Door County YMCA
Youth in Government Group. This wonderful group's purpose is to
teach the next generation of citizens the process of our government by
fully immersing them in it. From elections to committee meetings
and floor sessions, students research issues, draft bills and debate
them in their very own legislative system to get a comprehensive
understanding of how our government works.
It is
always a pleasure to meet with the students involved in this group as
they are among some of the brightest and engaged youth I have met.
Their interest in how our government functions illustrates the
tremendous leadership potential that each on of these students
possesses.
I would
also like to express my gratitude to the numerous volunteers and local
officials who selflessly donate their time to help the Door County YMCA
Youth in Government group show the future leaders of our community not
just that they can have an impact on how our state is governed but also
exactly how that impact can be achieved. This is absolutely
essential if we hope to one day successfully pass the baton of
leadership to these great young men and women.

Capitol Tree Lighting Ceremony!
One of my
favorite holiday traditions at the Capital Building is the annual Tree
Lighting Ceremony. This year's tree is a spectacular 40 foot
balsam fir which was harvested from the Town of Emery. Donated by
Jim Ryf, the tree has been decorated with ornaments made by children
from all over the state. I would like to invite everyone who makes
it down to Madison this holiday season to stop in the capital building
and take the time to view this magnificent holiday display.
