Dave Wegner of Fort Atkinson has joined the Board of Directors of Rock River Heritage Inc.
Rock River Heritage is a nonprofit organization that promotes historic renovation and adaptive re-use, as well as community-based programs.
It is the founding organization of the Fort Atkinson Club, a community center overlooking the Rock River in downtown Fort Atkinson.
Wegner’s first official meeting was the annual meeting on Jan. 19.
He and his wife, Mary, held their son’s wedding party at the Fort Atkinson Club and fell in love with the building. They have been generous members and participants in many events at the community center.
Dave is retired from the U.S. Marine Corps and Mary formerly worked at Beauty and the Bean.
Meanwhile, Rachel Nelan, the Fort Atkinson Club’s long-serving board president, has retired. She served on the center’s board and various committees since our beginning in 2012 (or earlier).
Nelan is a partner at Flad Architects in Madison, and her husband, Conor, owns Cold Spring Design in downtown Fort Atkinson.
They own a farmette in Cold Spring, where they raise pigs and goats, and they reside in a historic bungalow in Fort Atkinson.
