local childrens
hospital
In February, through the Chain
of Hearts campaign and donations
from its annual employee holiday
party, Kohler Credit Union raised
$10,462 to help families supported
by Childrens Miracle Network.
The money raised will support
Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin,
one of more than 170 Childrens
Miracle Network-affiliated hospitals across the United States and
Canada.
The campaign raised funds
through the sale of links and hearts
as well as other branch specific
fundraisers such as bake sales and
raffles. The links and hearts that
were sold included the names of
credit union members and their
loved ones remembered in a special way for the Valentine season.

Jacqueline E. Jackie Hamel, 1933-2015 Kohler Credit Union, continued from page 1
Jackie, 81, peacefully entered
eternal life on February 26, 2015.
If you knew Jackie youve probably heard her say, dont drink
water, it rusts your pipes. If you
were a kid fighting with your siblings, shed tell you that someday
youll travel hundreds of miles just
to see each other. If you were mad
at someone shed suggest you
walk a mile in their moccasins
before judging them. If someone
wronged you Jackie would say that
every dirty dog gets his day.
Her beverage of choice was McDonalds coffee. Every day after
walking at the mall and stopping at
McDonalds to socialize, she
brought coffee to the pastor and
secretary at her church.
Her generosity was boundless;
never was she happier than when
she could give or do something for
others. She loved taking her grandchildren to Walmart, or to
Bethesda Thrift Shop where she
volunteered, and going to Gibbsville Cheese Factory to pick up
gifts to distribute. She regularly
visited nursing homes, and gave
rides to elderly friends who didnt
drive.
Jackie indulged her sweet tooth
regularly, and kept a considerable
stock on hand for visitors. Her
house was a veritable kids candy
land which her grandchildren especially appreciated. Among the
staples were Skittles, all kinds of
cookies, chocolate, ice cream, and
Nutty Buddies.
She grew up on a dairy farm in
Michigan, had simple tastes, and
never shied away from hard work
or procrastinated. She liked most
everyone she met, and could strike
up a conversation with anyone,
even in sign language. Her favorite
people included her family, her
friends at Bemis and at church,
neighbors, the entire staff at Trinity
Nursing Home, and those who
worked at Parkview Restaurant. If
a server there said he didnt like
liver, shed have him sit down in
her booth and eat a few bites with
her.
Jackie is survived by her children and grandchildren, whose pictures she eagerly shared with
anyone who had a few minutes to
spare: Her son Michael (wife Julie,
children Emily, John, Bethel, Levi,
and Mercy); Vicki (children
Alexandra and Nicholas); Cindy
(husband Jim, children Jackie,
Matthew, James, Mary and Chris-

Kohler Credit Union thanks their

contributing to the fundraising activities during the campaign. The
success of the campaign was
largely due to their support.

HISTORIC PHOTO
PROJECT
We are very lucky to have in
our library a rich collection
of historic photos dating
back to the 1920s. Unfortunately they are not organized or labeled with dates or
names.
We would like to fix this
problem but we need your
help. If you can make it in
to the library, we can have
you look through some
photos and hopefully put
some names with the faces.
If you cant make it in, we
can certainly make copies
for you (about 24 at a time)
and deliver them to you.
The library has earned a
grant that will allow us to
digitalize our collection. If
you have historic photos
that you are willing to share
with us, please contact Erin
to set up a time to bring
them in. They will be
scanned and returned to
you immediately.

held at National Geographic Soci-

ety headquarters May 11-13, 2015.

The national champion will receive a $50,000 college scholarship and lifetime membership in
the Society. The national champion will also travel (along with
one parent or guardian), all expenses paid, to the Galpagos Islands,
where
he/she
will
experience geography firsthand

the islands unique wildlife and
landscapes. Travel for the trip is
provided by Lindblad Expeditions

Kohler Athletic
Booster Club Chili
Cook-Off a Success!
The mission of the Kohler Athletic
Booster Club Chili Cook-Off was accomplished at its first attempt to bring
chili connoisseurs and basketball fans
together on February 26, 2015 and a
chance for coaches to win money for
their team.
Each chili entry was vastly different
and provided a colorful and tasty experience for those who dared to taste.
The recipe receiving the most votes
from fans belonged to the coaches representing high school girls volleyball:
Kelly Cole, Marty Harms and Kirk

Wittwer. A check for $200 was presented at half-time of the basketball

game.
Other chili entries were prepared by
high school girls basketball coach Matt
Bayens, high school boys tennis
coaches Jon Cole and John Reinertsen,
middle school girls basketball coach
Bridgitt Zielke, and Doug Bocchini
representing all Kohler sports.
Thank you to the coaches for the
chili entries and to the fans for sampling!
