SUMMARY:Virtual Drink & Draw April
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our virtual Drink & Draw events as our Artist In-Residence\, Yvette Pino\, leads you through a delightful drawing experience inspired by images from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum collection. So gather your supplies\, pour yourself a beverage\, and bring your artistic energy as we spend the evening together stretching our creative muscles. \nThis event is free of charge\, open to anyone who registers\, and is suitable for all ages.

Although the events often coincide with happy-hour style programming\, there is no requirement or emphasis on alcoholic consumption. Some of the best attended Drink & Draws are dry and we are just fine with that. If you or a loved one is a veteran struggling with alcohol or drug abuse\, please reach out to your local VA or the Veterans Crisis hotline. \nEvent sponsored by The Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation with support for the Foundation from Generac Power Systems.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Laurence Desotell - The Captured\, the Sick\, and the Dead: Confederate Soldiers at Camp Randall
DESCRIPTION:Twelve hundred Confederate soldiers\, mostly from Alabama and Tennessee regiments\, were captured in the late winter of 1862 and taken to a POW camp in Wisconsin. In a period of six weeks\, 140 of them died and were buried far from their southern homes. What were the backgrounds of these men? What were the movements of their regiments\, their battles? Why did so many die? Author Laurence Desotell skillfully answers these questions in his carefully researched text. He also tackles a timely question: how to acknowledge the Confederate dead without championing their cause. \nREGISTER HERE \nThis program is free and suitable for all ages. \nEvent sponsored by The Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation with support for the Foundation from Generac Power Systems.
