This past Saturday saw the individual ribbon cuttings for the combined Marshall County Philanthropy Center and the Dr. Susan Bardwell Aquatic Center project. The picture above is from The Pilot News documenting the speeches that were given before the ribbon cutting at the Philanthropy Center.
I represented Culver on the Marshall County Economic Development (MCEDC) Board and the Marshall County Community Foundation (MCCF) Board when these projects started. I helped more on the development side while at MCEDC and then helped MCCF with architectural plan reviews, construction site visits and oversight advice. I sometimes give public boards and commissions grief about not making the best use of community knowledge. Sharing expertise is the most valuable form of volunteering. MCCF took full advantage of what I could offer and I was glad to share it. A win-win all around! It’s always better to get involved than to just complain.
Linda’s Ride
Linda’s Ride
I had the good fortune to meet Linda Yoder through mutual friends a few years ago. It’s always fun to meet a new dynamic friend, but keeping up with her can make me tired!
I’ve only known Linda since she relocated to Marshall County from Nappanee, initially coming here as part of a green energy, electric vehicle start up. From there she took over the Executive Director positions for the Marshall County Community Foundation and the Marshall County United Way. On Friday, April 25th, I got the opportunity to learn a little about her life in Nappanee.
