Lincoln Rotary Club news
Two Logan County teens recognized
for exceptional vocational efforts
Two young men from
Logan County were honored by the Lincoln Rotary Club recently for
the skills and attitudes they’ve demonstrated, indicative of success
in the "real world."
Hans Bishop and
Daniel Coers were honored as recipients of the Ready for the Real
World Award. This is the fourth year for the award created by
members of the Lincoln Rotary Club to honor those youth who have
started their own businesses or demonstrated maturity above and
beyond the expectations for a teen employee.
[Hans Bishop]
Olympia graduate Hans
Bishop was recognized by the Lincoln Rotary for his entrepreneurial
skills. As part of his 4-H woodworking project, Hans has built and
sold birdhouses. He even has a website to market his goods and has
successfully dealt with "real world" business challenges like
dealing with the changes presented by the corporate merger of his
website host. Hans was nominated by Patty Huffer of the University
of Illinois Extension office.
Hans will begin a job
at State Farm Insurance as he also pursues studies at Heartland
College.
[Daniel Coers]
Hartburg-Emden
graduate Daniel Coers was also recognized as an exceptional young
employee through the Lincoln Rotary Ready for the Real World
program. He was nominated by Jim Klokkenga of Emden. Coers has been
employed by Klokkenga’s swine and crop enterprise for more than two
years. Klokkenga noted that Daniel takes extra-special care of all
equipment, both old and new. And, that level of care and
consideration is hard to find in any farm employee.
Coers plans to
continue working for Klokkenga Enterprises as he begins studies at
Illinois Central College this fall.
Each of the two young
men was presented with a plaque and check for $250 from the Rotary
Club.

leaders have joined and become active in the Lincoln Rotary Club

YMCA
news
YMCA
summer art camps
The
YMCA art department will have several art-oriented camps this
summer. Participants will experiment with several mediums, such as
pottery, mosaic tiles, printmaking, screen-printing, watercolor,
acrylic paints, mixed media, cartooning and papermaking. The student
artists will have choices of mediums that they would like to learn,
since the program does not want to limit the youths’ creativity.
The activities offer a positive outlet for youth to express
themselves. The group will take one day of the week of camp to visit
a working artist.
These
camps will be a fun and exciting adventure in the world of art. The
Y will offer the camps for two age groups: 8 to 12 years old and 12 years
and up.
The
YMCA teaches cooperation and teamwork. The four YMCA core values —
caring, honesty, responsibility and respect — will be implemented
in all of the camps.
Y Can
Do weeklong camps
The
YMCA offers weeklong camps for special needs children. The
participants will have fun creating arts and crafts, along with
playing games. This year the Y will take one day out of the week to
visit a local horse farm.
These
special camps teach cooperation and teamwork. They also help build
confidence and self-esteem.
For
more information about any of these camps, call Shanda Roderick at
the YMCA office, 735-3915.
YMCA
pool program
This
summer the Lincoln Area YMCA is expanding upon its aquatics
programming. The Y will now offer to teach swim lessons to small
groups at private pools. If you own a pool and have a group of
neighborhood children or relatives who need swim lessons, your
family is eligible. The family that owns the pool will receive free
lessons for their children as well.
The
YMCA has created this "Backyard Pool Program" to help make
neighborhood pools safe. So put your mind at ease and make sure that
the children in your pool are safe. If you have any questions or
would like to be a part of this new Y service, feel free to contact
the YMCA. Together we can build strong kids, strong families, strong
communities.
Lincoln
Area YMCA 2002 summer day camps

fun and adventure for kids throughout the summer months. Mom and Dad

activities such as hikes in area parks, learning to tie knots,
making special snacks, enjoying visits from guest speakers, playing
various sports, and having special contest fun with entertaining
"kid" games such as jacks, marbles, yo-yos, hula hoops,
hacky sacks, Slinkies, spinning tops and much more. Children will
also enjoy group arts and crafts, reading activities, storytelling
fun, creative drama activities, skits, and will swim most days that
