Invitations are in the mail for the historic Brown County United Way 80/80 celebration, to be held Thursday, Feb. 9.

Sponsored by Ameriprise Auto & Home Insurance, this one of a kind event will feature the distinguished cuisine of The Legend's Club at Lambeau Field.

As a combination of the BCUW 2005 Annual Meeting, 80th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Recognition Luncheon, 80/80 will commemorate the hard work and unswerving commitment of the volunteers who in 2005, as they have for the last 80 years, have pioneered essential health and human services in Brown County.  

In addition, and in equal measure, the celebration will honor the lengthy list of people and businesses who have invested in their community to make Brown County a place where children always have enough to eat and families can rely on their neighbors to help make ends meet.

The celebration will include presentations
