🌟 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! 🥳

Kyle Harshbarger and Mason Morhain were recently recognized by UNK President Dr. Gold in his State of the University address at the Nebraska State Capitol Building for the work they’ve done right here at PSAC with our Reminiscence Group.

🎥 Click the link to watch the video: https://nebraska.edu/president/sotu2026/?fbclid=IwY2xjawUWRJtwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMW8xb3cyNGkwOFRrUzc1TWdzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEexshcHw2JvWqL3IpGTc85hNE3z0nnN0BL4Do3v7kwiaZRnDtJog6eVNU6OyA_aem_prBGjOTIv4U6OnW-Ja0TRQ

Kyle and Mason are recognized at about the 30-minute mark.

Here's what President Gold had to say about their work:
“UNK’s impact reaches deeply into the community in personal, human ways. Through free counseling services and programs like a Reminiscence Therapy Group Program for older adults, led by Kyle Harshbarger and Mason Morhain, both UNK graduate students, UNK is helping Nebraskans find support, connection and belonging. In those moments, our mission becomes clear: education is not only about preparing students for careers. It is about preparing them to improve lives. Mr. Harshbarger and Mr. Morhain, please stand and be recognized for their leadership.”

For the past year, Kyle and Mason have brought their time, energy and care to our members each week. The Reminiscence Group has given people a chance to share stories, connect with one another, and remember the little things in life that bring a smile.

As Kyle and Mason move on to the next stage of their graduate school journey, they are passing the torch to new counseling students at UNK. We can't thank them enough for everything they've brought to PSAC and our members. We will certainly miss seeing them each week!

The Reminiscence Group will now meet Tuesdays at 3:30 PM. We’d love for you to join us, whether you're a longtime member of the group or have never attended before.

Happy Grandparents Day! ❤️

Today we’re celebrating the grandparents who fill our families with love, laughter, stories, wisdom - and maybe a little bit of spoiling, too! 😉

PSAC grandparents: We'd love to see how many grandchildren or great-grandchildren you have! Tell us in the comments.

And grandkids (if you're seeing this), leave a comment and tell us something you love about your grandparent. We know they'd love to hear it!
