The Green Bay Packers Give Back
A $500.00 Grant
Tim Rasmussen, President of the Howard-Suamico Historical Society volunteered over 200 hours while working on the house, barn, and Tremble School at Ancestry Acres during the first six months of 2025. By doing so, the Green Bay Packers Give Back awarded the Howard Suamico Historical Society a grant for $500.00 in a way of supporting Tim and the time he gave to the Historical Society.
Thank you to the Green Bay Packers. Thank you Tim for all the hard work given by him and all the volunteers in working on the house, barn and Tremble School at Ancestry Acres.

All of the books are collected throughout the year at Kimps Ace Hardware in Howard and at the Suamico Village Hall.
All proceeds from the sale will be used to support projects sponsored by the Society.
