On my way to work I saw a new John Deere lawn tractor next door, and a guy with a Bobcat doing work, and a guy with the new telephone pole. It made me realize that I needed to be content no matter what circumstances. In Philippians 4:11-12: Paul says…. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Dear Father, thank you for all the blessings that you give us, not the least of which is the Blessing of Contentment. Help us to learn to be content, no matter how much or how little we have, so we can truly enjoy your Blessing of Contentment. Amen

She is Norwegian & British
She loves camping, especially at White Water State Park
She started playing the viola in 5th grade. This has really helped shape her love of Opera.
She initially got involved in Rotary through a college friend who was very involved in Rotary, who sent her spreadsheets of all Clubs in Nancy’s geographical area. She found a food packing event being held at Eisenhower Community Center, and hooked her.
In January 2017, she went to India with Rotarians from Maine. She has a statue of Buddha to help her remember the trip’s memories.
Nancy has a deep passion for volunteering. She has spent a lifetime being involved with community; the volunteering community is the largest unpaid workforce in the United States.
She grew up in Rochester, MN. She is going to her 50th high school reunion this summer (John Marshall). Graduated from Gustavus in 1972. Has lived in Minnesota, Maryland, Florida. She got tired of the heat in the Southeast (and she missed her family, which is in the Minnesota-area, so she moved back to Minnesota).
Would like to go to Croatia & Norway.
Biking has been a significant part of Nancy’s life. She has biked in many states in the U.S., as well as multiple countries around the world
