Thank you so very much for your fundraiser towards Kris’s memorial.  Your support was very much appreciated. Thanks for everything!

Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair:
Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers,
If so, we saw them there.
Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console the heart,
We thank you so much, whatever the part.

Thanks,

Bobbi, Al and Alexis Keiker.

The New Ecology of Sound will feature live music from Milwaukee-area artists Ethan Keller, Frankie Flowers, Kyle Feerick and the DJs of 88.9 RadioMilwaukee. Attendees can scale the Urban Ecology Center’s rock climbing wall, explore the state-of-the-art green facility, stroll through the urban gardens or browse the canoes, bicycles and kayaks available to borrow through the center. Urban Ecology Center staff will also be available for tours of the grounds. The New Ecology of Sound will also have beer tasting tickets available for purchase, courtesy of the Milwaukee Brewing Company, in addition to having a cash bar. Profits from the beer tasting and the cash bar will benefit the Urban Ecology Center, which also depends on donations from the community to continue its mission.

Both 88.9 RadioMilwaukee and the Urban Ecology Center are custom-built for the Milwaukee-community and thrive on events such as this to increase awareness about their products and services, as well as receive funding to grow their programs.
