World Cafe Event
The program managers, chairs and vice-chairs of Brown County Teen Leadership, Current Young Professionals and Leadership Green Bay have been working together to bring an exciting event to you that will involve participants from all three programs in an effort to work more closely with our developing leadership. We have chosen a program called The World Café. The World Café is a program that invites participants to explore an identified topic in an effort to stimulate conversation about questions that matter. These conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, cross-pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions or issues that are most important in their life, work, or community. You can learn more by visiting their web site at www.theworldcafe.com.

I am extending a special invitation to you to participate with the chamber's other leadership programs in what will be an event that will bring clarity to our mission as a leadership organization. Click Here to view all of the details. Please accept my invitation by replying to this email or by contacting Lisa Schmelzer at lschmelzer@titletown.org or 593-3411. If you RSVP to Lisa, please identify with which program you are affiliated. Your RSVP is requested as soon as possible and space is limited to the first 20 participants of each program. I look forward to your participation!

Global Impact Survey

Event Recap: Botanical Garden
Current was welcomed by the Green Bay Botanical Gardens staff on a guided tour of the grounds during a spectacular time of the year. Many plants were in full bloom as was the networking. A little fun was even had along the way by Current's Vice-Chair Peter Weiss of Nicolet National Bank and Brian Johnson, Current Program Manager. Click Here to see more photos of the event.

Young Professional Sports Buddies
Don’t miss this chance to have fun and be a kid again! The typical barriers to volunteering as a mentor have been addressed and combined with planned outdoor and sports activities, and the result is Sports Buddies! This new activity-based mentoring program of Big Brothers Big Sisters asks for an initial commitment of only six months, and requires just two get-togethers each month. You don’t even need to come up with ideas of what to do if you’d prefer not to--BBBS will plan and sponsor two group activities per month for Sports Buddies.  It’s never been easier to have a positive impact on a young life!

Men will be matched to a boy between ten and fourteen years old who has similar interests and lives on the same side of town. Matches will have the option to attend both group activities each month, or choose to do one planned event and spend time on their own another week. Green Bay Bullfrogs, Gamblers, Blizzard and UWGB Phoenix have all agreed to partner with Sports Buddies and will be donating tickets. Do something different this summer—become a Big Brother! You don’t have to change your life to make a difference in his!
