Shelly Culea

 

Raising Monarch butterflies from egg to release is a passion for Shelly Culea. This has led Shelly to also become an expert in growing pollinator plants and establishing butterfly gardens.

Traveling to the UNESCO World Heritage Monarch Sanctuaries in Mexico was a remarkable and profound experience for Shelly.  Since the 2015 Monarch Sanctuary visit, she has volunteered to help the butterfly by presenting Monarch lectures, workshops and installing Butterfly Gardens in area public and private land.   Shelly has installed Butterfly Gardens at the Port Washington City Hall, seven Group Homes, the Villa Terrace Museum and the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin. Through Shelly’s enthusiasm and encouragement she is able to persuade citizens to embrace the Monarch butterfly and help it’s recovery.

Jim Counsellor, accompanied by his son, Bryce, went on an Honor Flight to Washington, DC, where he saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He took the opportunity to literally reflect upon his service, and his brothers in arms who never made it home. 

 

The memorial includes the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who gave their lives in service in the Vietnam conflict. The memorial includes the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall, the Three Servicemen statue and the Vietnam Women's Memorial.
