We heard the classification speech of Gail Kaderlik the lessons life gives along the way on October 6th, 2020. Gail grew up in Kenyon on the farm. Family and faith were important in her childhood, always helping in a small community. Singing and music was always a big part of Gail’s life. Gail graduated Augsburg University, while enrolled in college she found her niche in the field of optics becoming a store manager and later opening stores around the state of Minnesota for Vision World.
Opening Vision Worlds around Minnesota brought Gail to Faribault, meeting her husband Bruce (of 31 years) and starting her family of 2 children.
Now a part of Faribault Gail moved from optics to radio sales at Power 96 for Kymn Anderson and then back to optics as the office manager for Dr. Murray Hanson, then for Richie Eye Clinic and other companies. When Covid-19 hit, Gail found herself furloughed. Which opened the door to a new opportunity as the executive director at South Central College.
Gail shared points of wisdom throughout her classification she has learned along the way.
1)Be aware of what you say, how you say it.
2)Never underestimate the effect you have on somebody.
3)Sometimes you must pick up the pieces and move on.
4)Be okay with alternating the plan.
5)Buy your tickets, support your Rotary.
6)People are SO good.
7)Be open to new beginnings
