Brad Koenig

We're thrilled to announce that we are now taking reservations for the Imagination Station Playground DREAM BENEFIT!!! We would like to extend an invitation to you and your friends. It's a great event to get some friends and family together and enjoy this relaxing and unique venue, while giving back to our very special project!

The DREAM BENEFIT is an upcoming social party with 100% of the proceeds supporting this universally-accessible playground to be built in Roosevelt Park, Oconomowoc.

This park will mean so much not only to the kids that play there, but to their parents, grandparents, caregivers and loved ones who get to see their kids excited as they enter and explore. Nothing is more precious than when my kid's eyes light up with anticipation and delight. The community is really coming together to make this happen.

The DREAM BENEFIT will be held on January 22, 2009 and has a very unique venue at the Dream Rooms by Dream Kitchens showroom in Delafield (in the Design Mart building). They have the stunning custom, high-end kitchens. Subzero and Wolf is sponsoring the party including providing their demonstration chef who is absolutely fabulous!

Guests will watch and interact while he prepares gourmet food, while sipping on complimentary coffee from Stone Creek Coffee. The Wine Maniacs by Flannery's is providing fine wine for the event. A special guest was just secured, David Trotta Barnes, the proprietor and winemaker of Sturina Trotta Cellars in San Luis Obispo, CA. He was also the 2007 Business Person of the Year in Kenosha. Additionally, several wine distributors will be there to talk with guests about food and wine pairings.

Fantastic silent auction items are being collected now. $50/Person. There are group discounts for parties of 6 or more and corporate packages available.

MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW! Click here to view the Dream Kitchen Benefit Evite. Imagination Station Playground needs to raise $400,000 to build this very special universally-accessible playground. Our mission is to bring our community together and build a unique playground where children of all abilities can play together.

Dear Friends and Volunteers of Jefferson County WI Habitat for Humanity,

On September 13, 2008, Modern Woodman's Insurance Company is sponsoring an event at Fort Atkinson High school's beautiful auditorium on behalf of Jefferson County Habitat for Humanity, and has offered to match up to $2,500 for every dollar raised!

The event is a dinner and show which features "Tony Rocker and the Come Back Special Band" and a pasta buffet provided by Capn's Catering. Tony is an award winning Elvis Tribute Artist who in January of 2004 won 3rd place at the "Midwest Tribute to the King Contest". Capn's Catering is known throughout Jefferson County for their quality, fabulous catering menu. We are pleased that both the Tony Rocker and Come Back Special Band, and Capn's Catering have agreed to provide their creative talent and services to help Modern Woodman's raise money for this event.

Advanced Tickets are $45 for VIP seating, $35 Preferred seating, $30 Standard seating

Come out and enjoy an evening of fabulous food, great entertainment, an atmosphere suitable for the entire family, and the satisfaction of knowing that every dollar raised will be used to build the next Habitat for Humanity home in Jefferson County. This means that you will help a deserving, low-income family achieve the dream of homeownership. Dinner, show, and helping those less fortunate all for under $50! How could one go wrong?

Thank you so much of your time and support of Habitat for Humanity. Hope to see you there!
