Reflections “Five generations of my family have been involved with Green Lake Conference Center since the early 1940s. I have attended Green Lake for over 65 years. I have fond memories of many of the original buildings on the grounds, particularly Roger Williams Inn. As a child, the Inn, with the floral plantings in the circle drive, the water fountain inside the entrance, the lobby with its high ceilings, and stairs off the patio leading to the lake seemed almost magical.
