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 2024. 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.

May Used Book Sale a Huge Success
The Howard-Suamico Historical Society held its semi-annual used book sale on Friday, May 2nd and Saturday May 3 in conjunction with the Howard-Suamico sidewalk days. The sale was set up in the barn and under the big tent at Ancestry Acres, 12787 Velp Avenue. Our customers had a good selection with over 500 boxes of books to choose from. 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.
Thank you to all who came out and purchased books.
Thank you to the following individuals who helped set up the sale, man the tables, run the cash registers, set up the tent, and then take everything down and clean up the area when the sale was done: Sue Ambrosius, Tim Rasmussen, Nathan Gillaume, Matthew Gillaume, Brian Gillaume, Chris Gillaume, Steve Pamperin, Millie Wiedemeier, Tom Mooren, Jan Deneys, Olivia Courtney, Barb Styczynski, Lenore Olejniczak, Diane Smurawa, Jeff Rasmussen, Dean Rasmussen, Kelly Zuhse, Avery Chinen, Ryker Magged, Pierce Ambrosius, Oliver Litrenta, Russ Roland.
