Check-in was well organized and they broke people into groups doing different types of cleanup. Each group was handled by a team of 20-something volunteers that were working on education in public service. I ended up doing some brush cleanup and moving huge piles of logs on one of the neighboring lots on 17th. Free boot camp! Of primary interest to me is their Gardens to Market program - they look to have quite a few garden plots spread out on the block which they use to sell produce to their neighbors at local markets. If you're looking to volunteer some time, this is definitely a worthy group, I'll certainly be back.

But, surprisingly, I'm also a fan of somewhat stuffy, upscale elegance. Well, the University Club is neither of those, but I think it was up to the minute and/or appealingly stuffy awhile ago. After checking out Milwaukee hotels and noting their overpriced rooms, I commented that maybe it'd be better for a guy who needs to work in MKE occasionally to join a private club. Quelle idea! We got a tour of this place, by my time honored method: Walk in and act like you belong there. It worked great, and we got to explore the whole place.

They have blood pressure screenings ( upstairs) and a Food Pantry all in the same place. Awesome. The senior dining is for 60 and older people. They have other activities for younger people and a array of upcoming events like outings for bowling etc.. The center is a Gift from GOD. So Many fantastic things going on there for the Community. I donate to there center every month to show my appreciation of there care for the community. They have a abundance of Support literature for you to review for all kinds of services throughout Milwaukee and at the Center. The Staff and Volunteers are exceptional and humble.

My little grandson has such a love affair with all things trains, and after our fifth visit there…read moreyesterday, I have to commend the volunteer model train enthusiasts at the Lionel Railroad Club of Milwaukee, located in New Berlin, for making him feel so welcome and encouraging him to really explore. We were the only visitors at the time, so we're greeted by all the people there who had interesting stories to share and told me of several other places we could go for additional "train fixes". While we've been to many, it was so kind of these gentlemen to go out of their way to encourage my grandson's love of trains. Please go and check out this club. The layouts are incredibly detailed! Right now it's only open from 1-9 pm on Fridays, but additional times are added for fall and winter months.

The hours changed at about this time of the year so the weekends hours are open now. First off the place is hard to find because it's in a strip mall and you can't see the place from the front, drive around to the back side and you will find it. It looks small with one door but it's way bigger on the inside with a huge multi level Lionel O scale layout. The layout is impressive with great detail and interactive scenes/display, just push one of the marked buttons and something comes to life or lights up. Three trains were operating on my visit a steam passenger train, a freight train and a diesel locomotives on the wall display. One of the guys from the club gave me some info and showed me around, this spot is 17 years strong for the club. You can become a member and bring your own trains to run on the layout, no need to have a huge layout in the basement. The layout is very nice but it's a little high for the kids to see but it is a cool place to take the kids. This is a nice different place to spend some time on a rainy day like today or any day if model trains interest you. I'm a train junkie so I like anything train and to have a very cool place like this in the area is neat but don't forget to leave a donation and sign the guest book.

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I wanted to give them a shout out and say what I know…read moreabout them. I cannot do them justice since they have many programs here to help members of our community that I haven't worked with. I have volunteered here a few times when I was a student through UW-Milwaukee. I helped bag groceries to be handed out to members of the community who needed help. They work very hard to create a balanced bag nutritionally each time such as protein, breakfast items, meat/ eggs, fruits/ veg, dessert (if they have any), soup, pasta/ rice, and a few other types of items I'm forgetting. When they have fresh fruits and vegetables they place them out for people to pick from. They also let people pick out bread items. The number of bags people receive depends on family size. They also have baby food items for those who need them. I also organized personal cleaning supplies (keep the good stuff, throw out the bad/ expired, put out the smaller stuff for people to pick out for free when they came to pick up food, etc). I thought this was really nice of them to have available, many people looked through the baskets once I started filling them. The staff is very kind to those who come in needing assistance and try to help. The area I worked in was basic but clean. They treat the community members that need help with respect (I've seen orgs where they don't treat people very well, this is not one of those orgs!). Great place to help the local community and for people to receive assistance. I've only scratched the surface as to what this nonprofit does for the community, check out their website. Time/ money/ personal donations brought here are not wasted!
