What the Lock?:
Letters are simple, building blocks. Yet, as part of a team, become words, phrases, and books. Letters are complex. They have emotion, intent. As words, they can give extreme
joy or extreme pain. We hear so many letters. We've been told we are a favorite escape room. We've heard "wow!" exclamations as people walk into our building. We've seen so many letters. We've been recommended and reviewed on multiple sites. We've received honor awards and recognition and "best of". And then there's the letters we've received in the mail. The ones asking us to be a part of a community raffle or showing appreciation for an escape room proposal. Whether simple, complex, or a homophone, we are in awe of the kindness given to us. Thank you for all the letters to create phrases given to us and given to others about us!

The Crossing of Manitowoc County
would like to know if you know someone who could volunteer 3 hours/week in a highly rewarding service role? Summer and life transitions have taken many of our staff elsewhere, leaving us short-handed and challenging our small staff to keep our operations on track. Our "entry level" is front desk reception: providing friendly greetings to our clients, donors and volunteers; answering our phone and scheduling appointments; and light office work. Few jobs are more gratifying! Please contact us at (920) 973-4357.
