Sunday, February 12, Karen & Dale Isaacs went to dinner in Nebr.

City at the home of Eileen Isaacs. Edra & Melton Dixson and Alma

Pierson also attended. Later on they went to the 90th birthday party

for Norma Wall at the "Green Room". There was a good turn out and

"old classmates had a nice visit, and on a

happy occasion for a change."

We've been pretty busy here at the Wilhelm Western Outpost

entertaining our favorite grandsons (our only grandsons!). The Star

Wars figurines from when our girls were younger got loved all over

again. And the boys got to have a slumber party with their cousins,

Maisie and Madison. Who needs aerobics when you're chasing

a 5 and 3 year old!

Five members of the Unadilla Area Foundation joined members of

Affiliated Funds from Waverly, Springfield, and Nebraska City at

the Duncan Building last Thursday night, February 16. A delicious

meal was catered by The Bar. Jeff Yost spoke about the transfer of

wealth that will be going on in the next two decades. He explained

that as the next generation passes on, a lot of their children have moved

to other states, as will the benefits of those inheritances. Yost gave the

example of someone having 6 children, but providing for 7 when

organizing their estate/will. The 7th child would be the local community

foundation/town/cemetery/favorite charity. He also discussed the many

benefits a farmer could provide to his community by making donations

of grain or livestock. If you're interested in more details, please contact

any Unadilla Foundation member: Barb Wilhelm, Larry Larson, Bob

Brandt, Maureen Vogt, Peggy Leefers, Donna Crownover, or

Margo Larson.

Did you catch NETV Sunday night? Jon & Jan Yoachim, who live north

of town, were part of a story about local food sources. Before that,

Perry Stoner had a segment.
