Christ Episcopal Church (La Crosse, Wis.), Friendship Program Records
Scope and Contents
The strength of the collection includes the full run of annual reports (1988-1998) and newsletters (1993-1998). Historical information and newspaper clippings also help to shed light on the activities of the Friendship Program. Steering Committee materials are rather lacking, as only minutes from the final year of the program (1997-1998) exist.
