Illuminate Ozaukee
Illuminate Ozaukee
APTB is excited to participate in this year's Illuminate Ozaukee!
Each December, the Ozaukee Nonprofit Center partners with local businesses and nonprofits to transform Zeunert Park in Cedarburg into a glowing drive-thru winter wonderland. Families can wind through the park and take in dazzling light displays, festive music, and plenty of holiday cheer. As a participating organization, APTB creates a holiday display, adding our own unique creative design and sparkle! Visitors can cast their vote for a favorite display when they arrive, helping crown this year’s Holiday Design Champion. Illuminate is also a fundraising opportunity as visitors are invited to make a donation which is shared with the participating organizations.

TGIF! At the end of the week, don't we all deserve to relax, enjoy amazing company, and let our creativity shine? Join us for our Friday Art Fun Nights, where we welcome guests to participate in an evening of art and refreshments. Each month we will feature an instructor-led art project with supplies on hand for anyone who would like to join us in creativity and friendship. This is a great opportunity to gather your friends or bring mom for a “date night.” So whether you are a seasoned artist or have no art experience, we would love to welcome you for socialization and self-expression at our Friday Art Fun Nights! Registration requested so we can make sure we have enough supplies.

Ageing Gracefully:
An Invitation to Practice Grace as We Go Through the Ageing Process
2nd Saturday of the month - 10am - 11:15 am
AUG 8 * SEPT 12 * OCT 10 * NOV 14 * DEC 12
Suggested Donation: $50
Unlike the Breaking Free journaling series (graffiti journaling), this journaling series is far more contemplative and inward focused. Using multiple articles and book excerpts, group discussions, reflective prompts and guest presenters...everyone will be experiencing their own personal journey deeper into the aging self.
Maybe, just maybe...this is an invitation to lose the burden of being someone you once were, and step into and show up "As is"...as the person you are in this very moment.
Note: If you prefer to pay by cash or check in person, please register by emailing Kelly
