Community Event - Getting To Know You

22 | The Thompson Center on Lourdes

If you’d like the newsletter sent to you electronically,

E-mail [email protected]

Mary Cooke currently provides administrative support and works on the Buzz at the Thompson Center on Lourdes. Prior to that she worked at the College Avenue location. She is passionate about working with seniors and being part of something greater. Mary knows first hand how important the Thompson Center was to her mother, Margaret Gauerke, and other family members, and her involvement with TCoL often brings many happy memories.

Mary lives in Appleton with her daughter, son-in-law and three granddaughters. She loves cooking, baking and sewing (NOT MENDING) for the family. During the recent school shut-down she had to learn how to teach using virtual lessons, and her seven year old granddaughter laughingly gave her a thumbs down for her efforts. (It’s still a mystery to her why it now takes three plus steps to solve a simple addition/subtraction problem - must be a generational thing!) To have a place like TCoL to go to and meet others in the same age group and with similar interests is priceless!

We’d like to hear more about you and why you

come to TCoL. Please tell us your story.

Ruby’s Pantry ice cream

give away was a big success.

All the ice cream was gone by 2pm.

THANK YOU!!

Marie Juhre came to the foot care clinic after its reopening and received a special surprise.

During the quarantine she turned 100 years old! "Happy Birthday" was sung and she received a

birthday cupcake and flowers.

Her secret for longevity? "Not having children and eating lots of butter!"
