Megan Borland, Director of Vocational Services, presents the Student of the Month Award to the daughter of Rotarian Bruce Rowe. Allison will travel to the University of Iowa in the fall to study engineering. An accomplished dancer, she was also the president of the Interact Club at Homestead High School for two years. This year she concentrated on applying her dance skills to the high school musical, activities at church, and playing volleyball. Allison received the Presidential Scholarship from the University of Iowa, one of only 32 students to receive this prestigious scholarship.
What better way for local Lasata campus seniors to feel the wind in their hair and the ability to relive an age-old but youthful experience than through a rickshaw ride powered by local community partners!
Sponsorship opportunities are available to assist in the cost of bike helmets, ice cream/coffee gift certificates, and reflector jackets. Seniors are already asking when the rides will be available.
Avid cyclist John Smith shared the new "Cycling Without Age" program at Lasata Senior Campus. Two bikes designed and manufactured to meet the physical needs of senior passengers have already been purchased. Local community "pilots" will volunteer their pedal skills as they share giggles and smiles with seniors, pedaling around the campus and into the community for ice cream or coffee.
Beth Carstens, Apartment Manager for Lasata Heights, the independent portion of the Lasata campus, answered questions. A local Thiensville bike shop owner has offered their skills to provide maintenance on the bikes.
