Let's Paint the Town, a True Celebration of Community Spirit
WI
If you happened to stroll through Wilson Park in Menomonie, WI, on Saturday, July 19, you might have noticed a certain buzz in the air — courtesy of the “Let’s Paint the Town” extravaganza!
The entire park transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, featuring a bustling craft market, mouthwatering eats, a farmer’s market, and a lively children’s play area. BetterLife Members – Menomonie, WI, made their booth a must-visit destination. After President Gordy Wolf set up the booth, Vice President Mary Krueger and Member Advisory Board Member Barb Avery invited visitors to spin the BetterLife wheel for a chance to win prizes. Meanwhile, the sounds of local favorites, The Dweebs and the Ludington Guard Band, filled the summer air. Before the day wrapped up, Jodi Lovell, Treasurer, joined in on the fun.
From the echoes of laughter to the endless stream of smiling faces, the event was a true celebration of community spirit.

Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Waunakee, WI, stands proudly as the only village of its name in the world — a place defined by its warm spirit and strong sense of community. The inception of WaunaFest marked more than the arrival of just another summer event; it was the birth of a cherished tradition, a celebration designed to unite neighbors, ignite local pride, and create lasting memories.
This year, the festival took place over the weekend of July 24-27.On Saturday, in partnership with Girls on the Run and guided by President Laura Gintz, BetterLife helped host an engaging booth where visitors could try their luck with the prize spinner and win fantastic BetterLife rewards. On Sunday, Girls on the Run and BetterLife came together as one and proudly marched in the parade, symbolizing the unity and enthusiasm at the heart of WaunaFest.

At BetterLife, the well-being and security of our members remain our highest priorities. As we navigate a season marked by severe weather events — floods, tornadoes, and the looming threat of hurricanes — I want to remind you of the vital support available through our Disaster Benefit.
This one-time benefit helps cover out-of-pocket expenses, not reimbursed by insurance or relief programs, when a disaster has impacted your primary residence. Eligible members may receive up to $1,500, helping you recover and rebuild after unforeseen natural disaster events.
I encourage you to explore the full range of member benefits available to you on our website, located under the “Member Resources” tab. Please do not hesitate to contact any member of our team if you have questions. We are here to support you — today and every day.
Thank you for your trust in BetterLife.
BetterLife's Disaster Relief Benefit* is designed to assist members who have been affected by a natural disaster** and help them get back on their feet. The benefit amount is up to $1,500 for out-of-pocket expenses related to their primary residence and personal belongings, which an insurer or a relief agency doesn't cover.
