Places of Worship

If you are new to the area, and are looking for places to worship during Holy Week, this is a nice link to local area worship sites in Southeastern Wisconsin. I searched Oconomowoc, and got this page with many links to sites in Waukesha County. On the left of the linked page, you can search by community. If you are looking for other community resource guides, give me a call. I’d be happy to point in the right direction.

“Fair Trade” in Lake Country Wisconsin

As a Realtor®, for Shorewest in the Lake Country area, transferees often ask me about the “Lake Country Lifestyle”. “What are the schools like? How is the shopping? Where can we find interesting and unique things to do relative to the arts and entertainment?” Of course, all of Southeastern Wisconsin enjoys the beautiful attributes of Greater Milwaukee. In addition to the shops and restaurants in Milwaukee County, Waukesha County offers many wonderful and diverse places to eat, recreate, and shop.

One of my newfound favorites is a fair trade shop, called “Trails to Bridges”, in Hartland. Starting as a home-based business, the owner eventually went to a small retail space, and ultimately, the storefront shop she just opened. She, and her husband, personally visit and become familiar with the people behind the items she sells. I was first introduced to their unique items via a visit the owner made to my local church, in Oconomowoc. She effectively turned our fellowship area into a “smorgasbord” of wonderful and exotic hand-made articles from around the world.

A member of the Fair Trade Federation, “Trails to Bridges” assists in lifting families from some of the world’s poorest locations, out of a lifestyle of poverty, by supplying a fair and equitable business system in which to market their wares. The Realtor® in me finds this especially honorable. In spite of challenging economic times, Wisconsin residents enjoy a very high standard of living, as compared to the world at large. I have the unique pleasure of sharing this wonderful and prosperous lifestyle of Lake Country with my clients and customers. It’s nice to know that by patronizing a local merchant, we can all do a small part in passing along some economic success to those whose challenges far outweigh our own.

So, next time you may be out looking for something unique and special, check out “Trails to Bridges” on E Capitol, in downtown Hartland.

The Annual Autism Society of Wisconsin Conference: May 7-9, 2009

With the recent Autism Awareness Day, this blog will be something close to my heart, area schools, Wisconsin, and programs for children with Special Needs.

A big question in the minds of parents with children is the quality of education offered from their local school. This uncertainty increases when one has a child needing special services. Southeastern Wisconsin, especially Waukesha and Jefferson Counties have taken considerable steps to providing services for these types of children.

Wisconsin Autism Society has many chapters for education and support. The Annual Autism Society of Wisconsin Conference will be held at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells from May 7-9, 2009.

This Is Not Your Father's Middle School

In the fall of 2008 Oconomowoc unveiled their two new middle schools, Silver Lake Intermediate and Nature Hill Intermediate Schools. The School District quite frankly hit a home run with the two intermediate schools–first, for their great locations and second, for the stunning style that each school displays. As you can see from the picture each school is loaded with great residential architecture. Poised for growth, each setting is ideally situated within minutes of much of the future growth for Oconomowoc. With the addition of an Arts Center and an expanded indoor field house at the high school, the district has positioned itself to take advantage of the upcoming expansion in housing in Oconomowoc. I have written in past blogs about the Oconomowoc Arts Center and seeing IS believing! If you are relocating to western Waukesha County and Lake Country, you will want to visit the school district to get a firsthand experience of everything Oconomowoc has to offer. One of the services I offer are school tours to relocating families. As a Certified Shorewest Relocation Specialist, I know how important finding the right school for your children is. Feel free to email me at ghanon@shorewest.com for more information about our Relocation Services.
