Fall 2008 Welcome
A Note From The President
Nancy Teschendorf, 2008 - 2009 LIR President
Not many of you were born and brought up in the Northwoods. You came here to retire and learn something new and have fun while doing it for the rest of your lives. Everything is new and exciting and a challenge to learn. You see, that’s why it's so valuable for us to be brought together by LIR.
I have lived here since 1950 and I never knew anybody who lived in such "far-flung" places as Crandon, Eagle River or Tomahawk before I became a part of LIR. Since then I have made friends at various social gatherings and classes that I would never have known without this organization. I give thanks to Sandy Kinney, Nicolet College and the other “Founding Fathers” who gave us this opportunity to grow even in our retirement years.
Now we need people to come forward to help us keep us going. It’s the volunteers who work on the social committee and those who prepare the curriculum and write the newsletters and develop entertainments and urge membership to grow that make us what we are. Without the workers, LIR would grind to a halt. Speak up and offer to help to keep our LIR getting better and better.
