The OWLs will start May with our first day time road trip since before COVID. On Friday May 13 at 9am we will meet at the church and fire up the bus for a scenic trip down the Mississippi to Lansing, Iowa to visit the almost world famous Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center. The cultural, recreational, natural and historical significance of the Driftless Area is the primary focus of the interpretive exhibits at the Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center. Featuring three levels and 10,000 sq. ft., the building is nestled beneath limestone bluffs with scenic river views. Explore the history of our area, from wildlife and nature exhibits to displays about steamboats, cutting ice on the river and early inhabitants. The center has an elevator for easy access to all 3 levels. Following our visit we will have lunch at a local establishment with great food and lots of character. The visitors center is free and lunch is on you own. If you would like to join this great adventure please call or email Brian Narveson (630-816-5917 or owls@firstlu.org) by Wednesday, May 12.
The OWLs are a group at First that welcomes anyone, First Lutheran members or not, who are 55+. For information or to ask questions, contact Brian Narveson at owls@firstlu.org.
