Budgeting & Retirement Workshop
For working adults, managing finances can feel like a juggling act — balancing career growth, family needs, and the creeping realization that retirement isn't as far off as it used to be.
Sauk Prairie Community Center is partnering with the Bank of Prairie du Sac and Park Avenue Investments to give you the tools and information to take control of your financial future! Learn about effective ways to budget and track expenses, manage debt, strategies to save for retirement, and how to plan for life changes.
Come with your questions – we’ll have a Q&A session at the end!

Getting Started with Land Restoration
Interested in getting rid of the invasive plants in your landscaping or yard? Ever wonder what your property looked like before there was concrete, asphalt, and buildings?
This hands-on workshop will go through the basic steps to reclaim and restore your landscape, backyard, or acreage from invasive plant species. You’ll get practical information and advice useful for all restoration situations: from small sites up to larger plots of land. This workshop will also supply a list of websites and organizations to get additional help and guidance.
Local naturalist and native plant expert Sue Kenney will guide participants in determining the best native community to which to restore their land or yard, different methods and best practices for removing and managing invasive plants, and introducing new native plants. She will use examples from Moely Prairie and Sauk City Riverfront Park - where she has done restoration - to explain different concepts.
