Our September 2011 Spotlight award goes to Rebecca Schedler! Rebecca, Library Information Specialist, works in MU Libraries Cataloging, and has been with the organization for 27 years. Though now a loud proud Tiger, Rebecca originally hails from Deadwood, South Dakota.
Rebecca graduated with a BS degree in Elementary Education.
Our award winner’s favorite snack consists of smoked almonds or cashews.
Rebecca keeps busy during her spare time. She enjoys gardening, growing tasty edibles and flowers as well. In addition, she enjoys reading and sewing.
Isle Royale ranks as the coolest place she’s ever been to. A 40 mile island in Lake Superior near Thunder Bay, “this pristine place you must backpack and leave nothing behind you as you go. Only a very small part of this island is developed so you must carry water with you.” One night the group got to hear the wolves howling though they weren’t seen. Rebecca was looking the other way when the group spotted a moose. She’ll be back someday soon to capture more pictures.
Rebecca has four kitties: Julie, Ellie, Polly and Stephanie.
In closing, Rebecca also wanted to share the following: I would like more than anything to help people in developing countries be able to help themselves to a better life by buying stuff they made: clothing, jewelry, accessories. I order lots of things from Greater Good which includes the Hunger Site, Animal Rescue, Rain Forest, Autism, Veterans, Literacy, Breast Cancer, and Child Health. Go every day and click the buttons. http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=1You can order thousands of things made by people all over the world, and every time you buy something it makes a donation, how great is that! There is a creation from Haiti hanging by my desk.
Besides that, I have been sponsoring families in Guatemala for many years. I’m on my third family, the family of Dayrin Marizabel Montenegro Roldan. I just got a letter from her last week. She is an adorable little girl of 10 and she is very good in school. I help her family when I can to get things they need for their dwelling.
