Join us at Ewalu’s Creation Center at 1 PM on Saturday, March 15, to hear the highlights of 2024 from Ewalu’s Annual Report! Also on the agenda for this year’s Annual Meeting is to vote on new board members and a new member of the Endowment Committee. All are welcome to attend, but each ELCA member church in the Northeastern Iowa and Southeastern Iowa synods are allowed up to 2 voting delegates. The 2024 Annual Report was mailed to each member church in late February; go to www.ewalu.org/annual-meeting-2025 to see a PDF version of the report, see a meeting agenda and learn more about the Annual Meeting.
Our Ewalu Summer Camp Open House if for parents and kids to come to camp and “kick the tires”! Take a guided tour and step inside cabins and structures to see where campers sleep. Meet some of our summer staff, and ask questions about anything at all! We’ll also have a campfire and some treats, and the Camp Store will be open to take a look at what we’ll have for the 2025 season. We’ll even have a little something fun for you to take home! No RSVP needed, just stop by at the Creation Center anytime from 1 to 4 PM on Saturday, May 10. Details: www.ewalu.org/open-house
Join volunteers, families, and church groups to help Ewalu get ready for the summer season. We’ll have projects from 9 AM to 4 PM, but come and stay as your day allows.
