During the evening special recognition was given to a number of groups and people.


The Foundation presented four $1000 grants to: McCook Toy Box, McCook Trails Project, Kelly Park Disk Golf Course and Bison Alumni Newsletter.

Gene Morris accepted the Benefactor Award for Allen Strunk ‘47 who has established a charitable trust for the community’s future needs. The Benefactor Award was created by Gary Ginther ‘65. The only previous Benefactor Award was presented to Eleanor ‘23 and John T. Harris Sr.

Four Legacy Awards were also presented: Jewell Family, Diane Jewell ‘63, Clifford Terrol Jewell, Robert & Elaine Jewell and Nancy Jewell Tarnutzer ‘58 who were honored for giving a large lot on the golf course to the Foundation in memory of their late parents, C.T. and Helen Jewell; Marty Russell ‘63 for spearheading the development of a new park in McCook in honor of his father, Carson Russell ‘20; Nelga Haag for establishing the Nelda and Bernard Haag Scholarship fund; and Kathryn Wall for establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity.

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.
