Thank you for your 2018 membership support of La Pointe Center (LPC) for the Arts. We are hoping you will choose to become a member of our organization in 2018 and attend our membership meeting. Our by-laws state that every year we must have a membership meeting to inform our members of our finances and other business plans. We also need you as members to vote on the new Board Directors that have been selected. We need a quorum of 15 members.

Come and bid on hundreds of intriguing and one-of-a-kind silent auction items while sipping wine on the shores of the lake. Doors open at 2 PM.
This year our live auction includes a Murder Mystery Dinner for eight, catered by Seiche and to take place at Wood’s Manor, a spectacular 12-bedroom island home built in 1924.

Imagine Wood’s Manor is the famous Powar Oriental Gardens Theater in Hollywood. It’s 1936 and guests are gathered to enjoy the glitter and glare of the Powar Film Studio’s newest release, Powar and Greede. A dinner for the cast is being hosted by W. Anton Powar in a private dining room adjacent to the party. Excitement turns to horror when a murder is discovered, and guests must decide who amongst them have committed the crime.

LPC at Wisconsin Arts Day in Madison
LPC Board Members Terrie Myers and Judy Sebranek, and Positivity Children’s Theatre Director Julie Stryker-North met with Sen. Janet Bewley on March 9 for Arts Day in Madison, hosted by the Wisconsin Arts Board and Arts Wisconsin.
During the important 2017-2019 state budget season, Arts Wisconsin will be advocating with the Wisconsin State Legislature to create this program as a 21st century strategy to invest in creative people, institutions, businesses, and communities throughout the state. On Arts Day and over the next few months, they will help us tell our stories to decision-makers, to demonstrate the power, impact, and benefits of the arts and creative development throughout Wisconsin.
Way to represent Madeline Island and La Pointe Center for the Arts!
