"Welcome to Onalaska" Sign Fundraising Campaign

Onalaska Alliance is pleased to announced a fundraising campaign for a "Welcome to Onalaska" sign designed by Onalaska alumni Justin Boggs, graduate of University of Oregon School of Art.  

Justin has graciously created this beautiful sign that will be placed at the west side of the new Onalaska Fire Department building, welcoming community members and visitors to our town.

A huge thanks to the volunteers and businesses who supported the Carlisle Lake Park development!

Carlisle Lake is maintained by volunteers who help pick up garbage, weed eat brush along the lake and mow laws throughout the summer months. If you are interested in helping, contact Cathy Murphy at 360-978-4018 or email us! Volunteers work on their own time that best meets their schedule.
