Ten years ago, we started this comprehensive Charitable Events Guide to showcase the phenomenal work that local nonprofits and businesses are providing to the metro Milwaukee area. Over the years, we’ve been delighted with the responses we’ve received from you, our valuable readers, who have supported these enjoyable and beneficial events for a decade. This year, we’ve added a new exciting feature. Throughout the Guide, you’ll find full-page highlights of several important organizations that are making an everyday difference in our communities. Take a look at their mission statements, upcoming events and, most importantly, how you can make a difference by volunteering your time to assist others in need and by supporting the arts in our area. We’ve also added more options to our website, milwaukeemag.com. Now, you can not only continue to view monthly events throughout the year, but you can also submit your favorite charitable events to an online calendar. And you can upload photos from past events for all to see or check out photos from other organizations. Of course, the main feature is still the listings of upcoming balls, galas, luncheons, dinners, runs, rides, golf outings and more! For the new year, add an event or two (or three) to your calendar, and help strengthen our city and state through these positive organizations. Also, mark Nov. 15, 2012, on your calendar as the submission deadline for events in 2013.
