To raise money for programming and daily operations, the Navarino Nature Center will hold its 29th annual fundraising banquet Sept. 27 at The Gathering, 2600 E. Richmond St., Shawano. The nature center is a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental education programs to the public and students in northeast Wisconsin. Through the hard work of volunteers, committees and generous donors, the center has been able to make significant improvements to its facility and grounds, including the “Exploring Habitats” accessibility trail. The fundraiser will feature several raffles, silent and live auctions.
