The sun came out yesterday just in time for our members to enjoy learning about the birds that call Yanney Heritage Park home!

A huge thank you to the University of Nebraska at Kearney Biology Department faculty and students who brought the binoculars and scopes, shared their knowledge, and helped our members see the park from a new perspective. We appreciate you taking the time to share your love of birds with us. ❤️🦆🪿

Member Monday - Yes, we know it's Tuesday! 😋

Every other Monday, we post hints about our Member Monday on the TV's in our dining room. On Tuesdays, we reveal who it was! Whoever guesses correctly based on the hints gets put into a drawing for a free meal.

This week, we are excited to introduce a familiar face at PSAC - Jo Staab! Jo volunteers at the front desk and during the lunch hour, helping punch lunch tickets.

Jo has called Kearney home for 70 years and has been a PSAC member for 15 years! Her favorite thing about PSAC are the friendly people and she's a big fan of the roast beef.

Fun facts about Jo:
🚗 Her first car was an "old" Mercury
🎵 Her favorite song is "One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus"
💍Her and her husband were high school sweethearts!
💪 She gives 100% every week - 10% on Monday, 20% on Tuesday, 20% on Wednesday, 30% on Thursday, and 20% on Friday. That's 100% by the end of the week! 😅

When asked, what she wished she had known at age 20, she said:
"Getting older is not the golden years!"

Jo worked as a teacher for 2 years before spending 39 years as a secretary at Northeast Elementary School.

Who remembers Mrs. Staab at Northeast? Share your memories with Jo in the comments!

🌟 MEMBER MONDAY! 🌟

We’re kicking off our first Member Monday by introducing you to Tom!

Tom has called Kearney home for 60 years and has been a PSAC member for 13 years. One of his favorite things about PSAC? The good food, meeting new friends, and the atmosphere. (And he's a big fan of our goulash and Swiss steak!)

A few fun facts about Tom:
🚗 His first car was a 1960 Ford.
🎵 His favorite song is “In the Garden.”
💍 He met his wife, Judy, on a blind date!
👨‍🏫 He always wanted to be a teacher—and ended up teaching for 45 years! Judy was a teacher, too, for an incredible 52 years.

When we asked Tom what he knows now that he wishes he knew at 20, his answer was: “Challenges in life are normal and most don’t last forever.”

And some of the best advice he's received?
“You won’t be sorry for doing the right thing.”

When asked what he's most proud of, Tom shared this:
"Our sons attitude and resilience when he became a paraplegic a year ago."

Who will be our next Member Monday?

❤️ Good food happens because of great people! ❤️

This week we celebrated our amazing kitchen staff for National Food Service Workers Day!

We can’t thank this small but mighty team enough for all they do to keep our members fed - and for doing it with a smile!

Our members helped us celebrate them by filling this poster with thank-you messages.

Thank you for all you do!

Last week, we got to celebrate a very special birthday at PSAC - Lee turned 103! 🎂🎉

His special day also happened to fall on our Birthday Cake Day, sponsored by Kinship Pointe Northridge. So, Kinship brought the cake but his family and friends brought the candles, gold party hats, and plenty of birthday cheer!

We had the balloons and a Happy 103rd Birthday sign waiting for Lee at his table, and the large lunch crowd sang him happy birthday.

A huge thank-you to Kinship Pointe Northridge for helping us celebrate our birthday members each month!

Happy 103rd Birthday, Lee! We hope your day was as special as you are! 🥳
