PACE Setters

Meet Your New PACE-setters Group Leaders – Tina Caelwarts and Kris Reed

The PACE setters are excited to welcome Tina and Kris as the new group leaders! They are stepping into the role following the retirement of Deb Schneider, who founded the Pacesetters and has led countless memorable trips over the years. While Deb is ready to enjoy a new chapter at home, Tina and Kris are eager to continue the tradition of exploration, friendship, and fun that the PACE-setters are known for.

After 27 years with the Pulaski Community School District, Tina recently retired and is thrilled to combine her love of travel and people in this new adventure. A lifelong resident of the Pulaski area, she enjoys being surrounded by family — two grown children, both married, and five wonderful grandchildren who all live nearby.

Travel has always been one of Tina’s passions. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems right here in Wisconsin or exploring destinations around the world, she’s excited to share those experiences with others. She looks forward to hearing ideas from fellow Pacesetters about places they’d like to visit — near or far — and continuing to make travel accessible, enjoyable, and full of great memories for everyone involved.

Please join us in welcoming Tina Caelwarts and Kris Reed to the PACE setters family! We’re excited about the many new adventures ahead.

Since most information will be shared through email and text, we’re creating a new contact list.  To be included in future email updates, be sure to complete the PACE-Setters contact form.  Feel free to pass along to anyone who might be interested in being a part of the PACE-setters traveling group.

Be sure to check back often for updates!
