Dear
Great Lakes Neighbor,
Each week we invite grassroots activists,
artists, officials, physicians, parents, young people and others to offer
insightful commentary on their Great Lakes
experiences and views. Of course, we also invite you to comment on their
thoughts!
This week, the Town Hall is pleased to
welcome Wendy Lutzke, a leader in
education at the Wisconsin
Maritime Museum.
Come visit the Great Lakes Town Hall to read and respond to Wendy Lutzke's stories
and perspectives about the Great Lakes every day this week - only in the Great
Lakes Town Hall!
About
Wendy Lutzke...
After teaching in elementary school
classrooms for 15 years, Wendy Lutzke
joined the staff of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum
in Manitowoc as
educator in 2003. Since that time she and her part-time educators have
developed a curriculum that includes 18 maritime related school programs, a
variety of weekend activities for families and adults, and hands-on outreach
opportunities at schools, seminars, and community events.
Wendy considers herself a lifelong learner,
and working at the museum provides endless opportunities to be immersed in the
history and ecology of the Great Lakes. She is
pleased that her position has allowed her many opportunities to form
partnerships with people and institutions in the community and region whose
goals allow them to reach out together to enrich people's lives through
learning about our beautiful Great Lakes.
A native of inland Lower Michigan, Wendy
always thought she would end up living close to one of the Great
Lakes. She and her husband Steve love spending time in their
backyard, which is less than a mile from Lake Michigan,
and Wendy often takes her early morning runs near the beach watching the
sunrise over the lake.

This
week’s Featured Issue…
In addition to guest speakers, the Great Lakes Town Hall
focuses on a new featured Great Lakes issue
each week, provided by co-moderators Dave Dempsey, Gary Wilson, and Brenna
Wanous. This week, Brenna compares
and contrasts the Great Lakes Compact with the Kyoto Protocol... could the two possibly be
related?
Don't miss this great opportunity to read
and comment on our featured issue - A Tale
of Two Treaties - and the thoughts of Wendy Lutzke, in the Great Lakes Town Hall all this week!
Guest speakers contribute content on a Great Lakes topic of their choice for five days. While
there are basic rules of conduct, guest speakers are unedited and diverse views
are welcome. If you are interested in serving
as a guest speaker, please reply to this email. We encourage
individuals of all ages, occupations, and opinions to participate in the
conversation.
Your Great Lakes
Neighbor,
