May 5, 2007

Sponsored by America’s fraternal benefit societies, JOIN HANDS DAY is the only national day of service that specifically targets and develops relationships between youth and adults through neighborhood volunteering.

On May 5, 2007, fraternalists and nonfraternalists alike came together for JOIN HANDS DAY—to make a difference in their communities through helpful projects. Young people and adults worked together on an equal basis to plan, organize and implement the day’s activities. Together, they built a community of support for healthy cross-generational relationships.

The Wisconsin Fraternal Congress was proud to give financial and volunteer support to four separate projects in the state this year. They were held in the cities of Appleton, Chippewa Valley, Milwaukee, and Neenah. These photos capture the essence of the projects more than words can.
