Historical
Strategy for Re-Election of Lincoln
In such a controversial election year, did you realize that things were equally
controversial during Lincoln’s re-election campaign? Many have never heard that he
was opposed for re-election by those in his own party. There was Chase, who put his
face on the first Greenback money ($1 bill), but Lincoln got the $10 bill. Then Fremont
claimed the nomination early. Lincoln now became the nominee of the National Union
ticket. He would be opposed by a general campaigning
on the Peace platform. Come and hear the twists,
politicking, and all the insights of a knock-down, drag out
fight, with the election hinging on Union victories in battle.
All of this was six months before Lee surrendered. There
were a lot of “what ifs” in the life of this great leader. You
will have the opportunity to check out your Wisconsin war
ancestors, too! Pre-register by Oct. 25.

Learn-to-Swim Lessons
Winter 2017 Session
Whether you only swim in the summer, or
you hit the pool all year long, knowing how
to handle yourself in the water – and help
those in need – will make it a safer, more
enjoyable experience for everyone.
The Learn-to-Swim program gives adults
and children of all abilities, ages 6 months
and older, the opportunity to learn to swim
in a safe environment. Here they will
develop both their swimming and water
safety skills. Classes are designed to give
students a positive learning experience
while teaching aquatic and safety skills in a
logical progression.
Class times are subject to adjustment,
depending upon final enrollment.
Classes fill quickly, so please register
early. Registration and payment must be
received by Friday, Jan. 6. If classes are
filled prior to Jan. 6, they will be closed to
registration. Please allow one week for
delivery of all mail correspondence. Sorry,
no late registrations will be accepted.
Classes are taught by Red Cross Certified
Instructors Laurie Paulsen and Jeanne
Wallis.
Free Swim App
Get even more from your Red Cross swim
classes with the free Swim App. Designed
to complement the Learn-to-Swim program,
the app allows you to stay motivated and
progress to the next level. Additionally,
it delivers water safety information that
can help keep your family safe in, on, and
around the water.
