June Partner Spotlight
This week's webinar will have you wanting to get out on the water! We're highlighting three great partners that will help you do just that. First, we have CareFree Boat Club of Wisconsin. They provide the luxury of the boating lifestyle without the expense and hassles of owning a boat. Then, Milwaukee Duffy Boats and Milwaukee Paddle Tavern - these two water-related businesses are perfect for an afternoon or evening out on the town with friends and family. Looking to get on a bigger boat? Edelweiss Boats can help you with that! You'll learn more about the Edelweiss and the several tour options that they provide to locals and visitors to the city.
