At our meeting on Friday, we were reminded that our club's generosity goes beyond “our” giving. Many of our club members are philanthropic in other ways that may or may not get noticed. We were also reminded of how one's actions can impact so many.
President Adams rang the bell, 4 minutes late, to start the meeting. We said the pledge, sang a song recommended by Heather Exby (If You’re Happy and You Know It), and then had words of inspiration from Pat Peel. In line with our speaker for the day, Pat drew her inspiration from Florence Nightingale.
After some brief announcements we enjoyed our meal and fellowship before Jim Drolet led us in happy bucks. We had 4 guests present and they too joined in the activity. Two of our guests, who later spoke, pointed out how pleasant it was to be in a place where people were so positive.
After wrapping up happy bucks, Ken Robinson introduced our speaker(s) for the day. The speaker, Lindsey Moser, is the recipient of the Betty Robinson Memorial Scholarship, established by Ken and his late wife Martha. The scholarship is named after Ken’s mother to provide funding to advance skills in nursing. Ken’s mother earned a BSN in 1947. Lindsey is a registered nurse, and the scholarship will help her earn a BSN (bachelor of science in nursing).
Lindsey spoke of her past and how the scholarship came at a time when she really needed it. Her nursing also included nurturing her family. Her perseverance through tough times and her commitment to education was a remarkable testament to how one's generosity can be paid forward to so many. Lindsey currently works in the Wound Care unit at Valley View and is pursuing her BSN.
Following Lindsey, we heard from Dawn Sculco, Chief Nursing Officer, at Valley View. Dawn spoke about the need for nurses and how scholarships for advanced training keep Valley View at the forefront. After Dawn, we heard from Autumn Porter, Gift Officer, at Valley View. Autumn spoke about Lindsey and giving.
Though he started the meeting late, President Adams, through our speakers, ended the meeting on time. Each speaker was presented with a four-way test coin and the club recited the four-way test. The lucky ticket winner was Nick Adams and the meeting was adjourned at 1:15PM.
Our speaker this week is Kevin Flohr, CEO of Glenwood Hot Springs Pool.
