Residents of Fairhaven joined with members of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Phi Eta Sigma, a national honor society, and Empower, an organization designed to utilize the skills of its members in order to empower the world and our community around us, in making 2,428 dog treats in Fairhaven’s Olm Fellowship Hall on November 14.  According to Brian Robinson, director of marketing, community relations & leisure services, this was about the 75th time that Fairhaven residents and UW-W students have worked side-by-side in this marvelous intergenerational activity.
