Community Involvement
From
its humble beginnings over 40 years ago (when meetings were held in
an old chicken coop) to its nearly 100-strong membership today, the
Wisconsin River Sportsmen's Club has grown and developed into an organization
that provides services and funding in support of Mazomanie and surrounding
communities (complete WRSC
history). For example:
- Supporter of
Family Fishing Day at Lake Marion.
- Donated to
Mazomanie Swim Team.
- Monetary contributions
have been made to the Wisconsin Heights Family Services program.
