- **Event Name**: One Soldier's Story-Presented by Laurie Potvin Wig
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 30 Jan, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Fri, 30 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On January 30 from 1:00-3:00 pm, former Brainerd Public Schools teacher Laurie Wig will be presenting "One Soldier’s Story" to members in our Great Room.  
Early in her teaching career, Laurie's parents visited her classroom to share their World War II experiences and artifacts. After their passing, she discovered her father’s wartime letters—powerful firsthand accounts that inspired her to continue telling his story as a 20-year-old navigating wartime.
Her research eventually connected her with the 104th “Timberwolves” community and led her to follow her father’s footsteps in Europe, a journey she completed this past September.
"One Soldier’s Story" was born from this journey—her way of honoring her parents and ensuring the sacrifices of WWII veterans are never forgotten.   
This special presentation is free to members and open to the public.
