We are so grateful to our community—thank you for coming out to The Grove on Friday and supporting our annual fundraiser on a very rainy day!

We know our fields needed the moisture. So, you all took it in stride, and thirteen hardy teams still showed up with the best attitudes. Because of you and our hole sponsors and generous donors, we were able to raise $5,321 to continue building cultural understanding in our rural communities.

You are the reason that we have the privilege of doing this work and can continue to strengthen our connections to one another. Thank you to The Grove for being wonderful hosts, to all of our volunteers and players and sponsors - we are incredibly thankful for your generosity, your time, and your persistence.

We can’t wait to see you at the next one - our 20th!

Hey Coulee Region friends! If you've been hoping that our exhibit would come to a town close to you, now is your chance to see it at the La Crescent Library! Our opening reception is tomorrow evening and we'll be sharing stories with one of the sons of a woman who is featured in the exhibit. There will be refreshments and hands-on activities. We'd love to see you there. 🤝🤗

We had so much fun at this reception and loved the engaging conversations with everyone who attended!

Last week, we had the absolute privilege of traveling to the Eastern Sierra Madre mountains and visiting families of folks who are keeping our dairy farms running smoothly here in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Every single home that we visited was full of warmth and love that presented itself in many ways: from hot drinks (made from coffee and fruit and corn grown right there on family land), to questions about loved one's safety, to warm tortillas, to hearing how much the employer of their family member appreciates and takes care of them, to delicious meals and flavorful salsas, to houses and businesses that have been built through long hours and sacrifices across the miles, to simultaneous tears of joy and sadness, and more.

Amidst the hugs and meals and tears and conversations, we felt a human connection that reminded us of the most important things in this world. When we sit down face to face, no matter what our cultural background is, we cannot help but see how much there is that unites us. Each one of us cares deeply for our family members and we would move mountains to make sure that those we love are well and can have opportuntities to create lives where they, all of us can thrive.

Thank you to every family that we visited in Tlaquilpa, Texhuacan, Zongolica, Atlahuilco, Tequila, and Cuernavaca, for all that you shared and for all that you taught us. We are carrying your hospitality and generosity and kindness with us. You motivate us to keep creating communities where we all see how much more there is that binds us to one another than that which separates us.
