Summary
Speakers highlighted local events: the Jekyll Sheehan ALS walk on Aug. 22 with a $60,000 fundraising goal, and suicide-prevention walks Sept. 18 (Hayward Track) and Sept. 19 (Winter School). Organizers said proceeds and t-shirt sales will support local school mental-health resources.
Community members and staff shared upcoming event details and turnout numbers. A community member announced, "The Jekyll Sheehan ALS walk is on August 22," at First Lutheran Church; organizers aim to raise $60,000 for the Wisconsin chapter and noted proceeds support Wisconsin-based needs, including mobility equipment for residents.
Jess provided local suicide-prevention walk details: the Hayward event is set for Sept. 18 from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the Hayward Track and a second walk will be Sept. 19 at 5:00 PM at Winter School. Jess said the walks are free, family-centered, require no registration, and that t-shirt proceeds will go back to LCO Winter and Hayward High School mental-health items. Council members encouraged collaborative support with schools and tribal partners.
Separately, a member reminded the council of a drug-trend community awareness event on Aug. 19 and a human-trafficking community event at LCO Casino from 1:00–4:00 PM; members were invited to attend and support outreach efforts.
