Welcome to Anneke Bishop!
The Rotary Club of Bishop welcomed Anneke Bishop to the non profit community service organization on February 5th. The induction was conducted by Rotarian Randy Van Tassell along with Anneke’s sponsor, Lori Gable.
Anneke Bishop is a Registered Nurse She did her nursing education at a University Hospital in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and later received her Bachelors degree in Nursing education in the city of Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. Anneke has lived in Bishop since 2004. After moving to the United States she started working as a RN once she passed the required exams. Her husband, Bob works as a Transportation Security Officer at Mammoth airport. Bob and Anneke have 3 children, Alysia, 21 years old, Alison 18 years old and Ian, 14 years old. Anneka enjoys traveling, hiking in our beautiful Sierra area, being outdoors in the summer, photography and working on upgrades to their home.
Anneka had heard of our Rotary club and was attracted to their many local, national and international projects. She feels her experience of living outside of Bishop and outside of the United States might bring a different look on how the club can start new charitable programs. She is looking forward to working on a one day project in Mexico where she will help other Rotarians build a home for a homeless family. President, Mike Gable, is excited to have Anneke in the club and says because of her career in nursing, she certainly is no stranger to helping those in need and is ready to pitch in and help in the club’s many projects.
