Help Winona County Historical Society honor Chuck and Judy Shepard at this year’s Heritage Dinner on November 6! Every few years, the Society holds a special meal in honor of long-time and above-and-beyond volunteers. We are pleased to celebrate Judy and Chuck Shepard with an evening of food, fun, and good company.
About the Shepards
Chuck and Judy Shepard are long-time supporters of the Winona County Historical Society. Both have helped make big and small projects possible over the decades. Judy has been an avid volunteer for the WCHS. She has served on the Board of Directors and was President during her term. Judy’s love has been the Voices From the Past Cemetery Walk. She has been involved with the Walk as a planning committee member, guide trainer, school group organizer, naturalist site presenter, group guide, and more. Judy was characterized as “skippy” by fellow volunteer, Al Smith, as she often traded a skirt for knee pants so she could travel Woodlawn Cemetery on her bicycle. She is currently a member of the Education & Outreach Committee and volunteers at events.
RSVP
Invitations have been mailed to WCHS members, but all are welcome. Space is limited, so secure your seats soon. Dinner is $40 per person.
