Like Habitat for Humanity but more... Homes for our Troops helps to build adapted homes for severly injured veterans. First Weber has helped. Bob Larson and Roxanne Platz of First Weber's Lake Country office got involved in the project first, then did a great job of involving the rest of First Weber and the First Weber Foundation.
Because of their efforts and the donations of friends and real estate agents, First Weber has Reached the $10,000.00 donations mark: $5,000 from the First Weber Foundation, the rest from our fundraising efforts .
Great job, great cause. Special thanks to Bob Larson and Roxanne Platz for spearheading this great program. Several of our concierge program members have donated their services. There is still more needed to build this Waukesha, Wisconsin home for solider Jason Schultz. You can watch a video about Jason here.

Did you know Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Big Bang fireworks are rated in the top 20 in the nation? The big fireworks are fantastic and perfect for some -while others prefer to attend local celebrations. A recent poll at jsonline showed 51% of the poll respondents preferred a small town or park. A private pier was my view point this year and I highly recommend it!
Local parades are always a favorite and a way for local businesses to interact with the community. The Wautoma office of First Weber participated in the parade this year and staff members chipped in to buy a $100 gift certificate to a local supermarket. Patrons at the parade were given First Weber cards with a place to write in their name, phone number and instructions to bring their card in to the First Weber office before July 11th to enter the $100 gift certificate drawing. Balloons and Candy were also given out to by-standers.
Following are some pictures. Wherever you were in Wisconsin, we hope you had fun!
