What is that?  That was my first comment to Bo when he approached me about including a “blog” on our website.  Since many of you use our site for the lastest info and we have average 1100+ unique visitors  a month, he thought we should include something new.  He tells me what we need to do to keep up with the times and take our website and business to the next level.   He told me that it is an informal account of “anything”.  Ok, I can do that so here I go.  

My objective for this blog is to keep you informed primarily of the social aspects, events and entertainment of Geneva National and the Lake Geneva area.    Shortly after first moving here over 30 years ago I heard residents refer to this area as “Little Chicago”.  At the time I didn’t know what they were referring to and I was quickly told that they meant  Lake Geneva.  As many  Illinois (flatlanders, and I mean that respectfully) moved here, either as a primary or second home  they wanted and expected more in the way of educational and cultural things to do.  This has made more and more of an impact on making the lake area more desirable.   My mother always told me “being bored is a choice”, and I have to agree!  So here’s some upcoming events to keep you focused and give you something to talk to your friends about  instead of “how cold it is outside”.   Don’t be afraid to try something new to do with old friends or someone new and step “outside the box”.  You never know, you might find a new escape, a new friend or a new attitude!!! 

 For instance, on February 8th the LYRIC OPERA’S LAKE GENEVA CHAPTER is presenting a program entitled “Winter Wonderland” at Noon at the Geneva National Golf Club.  Brunch will be served. For more info contact Joan Ecklund at 262-275-3518. 

 Also this weekend  Februay 4-8 ,is our infamous WINTERFEST AND NATIONAL SNOW SCUPTING CHAMPIONSHIPS in downtown Lake Geneva.  Grand Geneva celebrates WINTER CARNIVAL with ski and snowboard exhibiitons, games and fireworks. 

At Geneva National enjoy the VALENTINE DINNER AT THE HUNT CLUB on February 12th.  Stick around and attend the casual MEMBER RECEPTION at the Clubhouse on February 13th.  Geneva National also offers small groups that play cards and games, to being active in fitness groups, book clubs,  garden clubs.  Enjoy NEIGHBORHOOD COFFEE on the third Thursday of the month and WALK,TALK, AND GAWK IS ON TUESDAY MORNINGS. Any questions about these events at Geneva National feel free to call Katie Alder, our membership director, at 262-245-7000. ext. 549.
