An opportunity to give back to McCook where meaningful friendships were made and a connection to the past is kept alive…that is the reason Robin Wilson Szwanek ‘81 decided to make a charitable contribution to the Bison Alumni Newsletter, ear tagged to provide nearly half of the 2007 salary being paid to the Assistant Director. Robin made the decision to provide a yearly cash contribution to the McCook Bison Alumni Newsletter when her employer, AARP, announced it would make a 100% match to her contribution.  Robin is grateful to receive the alumni newsletter twice a year where she can keep track of her old friends and the happenings in her home town.  Without the newsletter, she feels that her connection to McCook and her childhood would be weakened. 

Robin is the Associate State Director of Community Outreach for AARP Nebraska.  Her job allows her the opportunity to offer community events of interest to the 50+ population. Since Robin began her career with AARP in 2005, she has brought AARP activities to McCook in the form of a Medicare Part D enrollment event in May 2006 and a Voters’ Candidate Forum and Initiative 423 informational meeting in October 2006.  While coordinating these events, Robin worked closely with Sue Chipman of McCook’s Senior Center, Mary Kay Warner from UNL Extension office, members of McCook’s Retired Teachers’ Association, and AARP volunteers Russ Wood, Phil Lyons ‘74, and Leland Petsch.

Robin was glad to have this opportunity to give back to the community that shaped her during her formative years. She encourages other MHS alumni to strongly consider making a donation themselves to the Bison Alumni Newsletter which is an affiliate of McCook Community Foundation.
