OUR EFFORTS INCLUDED A MAJOR OUTREACH CAMPAIGN RESULTING IN WIDE-RANGING MEDIA EXPOSURE IN MAGAZINE ARTICLES (LAKE SUPERIOR, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC), RADIO (WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO), VIDEOS, WEBSITES, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES SUCH AS THE DULUTH NEWS TRIBUNE, AND MORE. THE EFFORT RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT RAISING OF AWARENESS OF THE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES FACING NATIONAL PARKS INCLUDING THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE. TO BEGIN TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, WE CONVENED AN ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY BOARD CHAIRED BY GREG LAIS (FOUNDER AND FORMER E.D. OF WILDERNESS INQUIRY, THE NATION'S LEADING WILDERNESS OUTFITTER FOR SPECIAL NEEDS TRIPS) AND MADE UP OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, NONPROFITS, ACCESSIBILITY ADVOCATES, AND MORE. A SERIES OF PROGRAMS WAS UNDERTAKEN TO RAISE FUNDS AND RAISE AWARENESS OF THE CORE PRINCIPLE BEHIND THIS PILLAR OF OUR ORGANIZATION: THE IDEA THAT NATIONAL PARKS BELONG TO ALL OF US.EDUCATION: RAISING AWARENESS OF THE HUMAN AND NATURAL HISTORY, ISSUES, AND MORE ABOUT THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE REMAINS A PRIORITY FOR FRIENDS. THROUGH OUR REDESIGNED AND ACCESSIBLE WEBSITE, NEWSLETTERS, PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, PROGRAMS, AND INFORMATIONAL BOOTHS AT MAJOR USER GROUP GATHERINGS, FRIENDS CONTINUES TO OFFER THE PUBLIC OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ISLANDS. REPRESENTATION AT THINGS CANOECOPIA (THE NATION'S LARGEST PADDLING EXPO), THE WISCONSIN GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE ON TOURISM, AND THROUGH OUR SUPPORT OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE JUNIOR RANGER PROGRAM, AS WELL AS SPEAKING IN CLASSROOMS AND MORE, FRIENDS FOCUSED STRONGLY ON HELPING THE PUBLIC LEARN ABOUT THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE.SERVICE: THE ABILITY TO HELP THOSE WHO LOVE THESE ISLANDS GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO THEM IN THE FORM OF VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IS AN IMPORTANT PILLAR OF FRIENDS. WE ORGANIZE BANDS OF VOLUNTEERS FOR EVERYTHING FROM EARTH DAY BEACH CLEAN UPS TO TENDING THE HISTORIC GARDENS AT THE MICHIGAN ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE. OUR VOLUNTEERS PLANT BEACH GRASS TO STABILIZE FRAGILE ISLAND SANDSCAPES AND HELP CLEAR TRAILS FOR HIKERS. WE LEAD NATURE HIKES AND PLANT TREES WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE GIVING OUR MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES AND GIVE BACK TO THE PLACE THEY LOVE.STEWARDSHIP: TO HELP PROTECT THE FUTURE OF THESE ISLANDS, FRIENDS WORKED WITH YOUTH GROUPS SUCH AS THE LAKE SUPERIOR YOUTH FORUM AND OTHERS TO BUILD A STRONG CONNECTION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO CARE FOR THE PARK. ALTHOUGH ISLAND SCHOOL WAS ON A HIATUS FOLLOWING COVID, WE REMAINED IN TALKS WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO CONTINUE THAT IMPORTANT PROJECT INTO THE FUTURE. WE DISCUSSED ADDING A DARK SKY COMMITTEE WHOSE GOAL WILL BE TO SEEK PROTECTION FROM LIGHT POLLUTION AND SECURE AN INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY DESIGNATION FOR THE PARK. 92477 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 WI X RUTH OPPEDAHL 7152923872 PO BOX 323 WASHBURN WI 54891 KELLEY LINEHAN CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK WELLER VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RICK CHARBONEAU TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN WILCZEK CORPORATE SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN BOYLE RECORDING SECRETARY 2.00 X 0 0 0 BOB JAUCH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE JENKINS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN GRAFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON OKERSTROM DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 MARK PETERSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WALT POMEROY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERICA PETERSON DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL HOWK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANNALEE MOTT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF RENNICKE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 24.00 X 41033 0 0 JILL RENNICKE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 20.00 X 27228 0 0 68261 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 174167 174167 366 366 4376 651 3725 3725 178258 3725 0 366 X 41039 41039 68261 47783 13652 6826 5221 3655 1044 522 118 118 775 775 19522 19522 200 200 5130 4848 282 13445 11422 2023 2689 836 1853 2887 2887 758 758 SUPPLIES 1320 1320 VIDEO PRODUCTION 147 147 161512 92477 54642 14393 3136 3479 352947 369942 51 696 4832 27191 26726 383970 405030 1364 1362 1364 1362 X 382606 403668 382606 403668 383970 405030 X 16746 3002 1314 X 0 0 0 X 89342 135533 277293 166119 174142 842429 89342 135533 277293 166119 174142 842429 269108 573321 9 13 24 784 366 1196 843625 31569 0.67960 0.67980 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 BAYFIELD SCHOOL 300 N 4TH STREET BAYFIELD WI 54814 7959 0 TRANSPORTATION FOR FIELD TRIPS, SNOWSHOES, OUTDOOR EDUCATION EQUIPMENT NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AINLS 415 WASHINGTON AVE BAYFIELD WI 54814 530197097 33080 0 SUPPORT FOR SAND ISLAND BOARDWALK PROJECT 2 PART I, LINE 2: GRANTS ARE GIVEN TO ORGANIZATIONS ON THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE.
