Everything needed for an exceptional
evening has come together! For the last
ten years we have had wonderful Jazz
events but this one will top them all. (We
have some experience now!) Of course,
how could we miss when a room full of
our NSC friends will be there!
But it certainly doesn’t hurt to have great
leadership -and Reta Gaebler has
provided just that for the
committee in 2016. These dedicated
volunteers have been meeting since the
lights went out in the ballroom last April.
Almost all the t-s have been crossed and
the most of the i-s have been dotted —They’re just that good!
A Touch of Jazz
One of the introductions we are anxious
to make is the Honorary Chairs of this
event, Jim and Julie Iverson. Jim and
Julie have been great friends of NSC for
several years . They have supported,
cheered us on and most importantly
encouraged us. They are a treasure to
the Northland and to Northland Shepherd’s Center. We hope you will find the
time to thank them during the evening for
all the good the do in our community.
Please also check page 2 for our
Benefactors who are making the evening
possible! We couldn’t do it without their
generosity!
And very importantly, we have wonderful
entertainment—The James Rojas Band
will be playing and there will be time for
dancing! You will want to stay and listen
to the wide range of music James and
the band plays, and of course- there will
be that touch of jazz! That surely, will
make you want to move your feet.
The silent and vocal auction are filled
with exceptional offerings this year. You
will be excited to see the tables and hear
the auctioneer! Remember all the
proceeds go to our programs to help
older adults— you can feel great about
your shopping!
Finally, if you add to that the ambience of
the ballroom in the Argosy Casino, Hotel
and Spa and the wonderful menu and
service of the staff the evening is complete except for what matters most! YOU!
Plan on attending! Tickets are $80 and
you can get them on our web site
(www.northlandsc.org) or at the office
March 16th! Don’t miss this!

A Dream Realized ! !
An excited Board of Trustees posed beside our brand new 15
passenger bus on Tuesday, Feb16th at the monthly Board meeting! This Board and the board members of the past two years
have been working along with staff toward this day! But it also
has taken the help of many other generous donors. Northland
Shepherd’s Center is so grateful for the support of countless volunteers, clients and contributors through our yearly Jazz event
and The Hodgdon Family Fund, Jewish Heritage Foundation,
Harvest Ball Society, Chris Hodgdon, and Mr Goodcents fund ,
they all have made it possible for NSC to purchase this bus.
We couldn’t be happier!
Below is Bob Kobby, who delivered the bus to us with the new
signage complete and was greeted by excited staff. Thank you
to Bob who donated funds for the beautiful signage. We love
the way our new logo looks on it! The new motto is “Helping
Seniors Thrive.” We are sure this new transportation will do just
that for our clients—creating new opportunities for them to do
new things in a new way!
Now the process of getting it on the road comes! (of course
after licensing and insurance). We will keep you updated as we
start it rolling! Pat yourselves on the back!

Scams To Be Aware Of
Free Radon Kits….Order One!
There’s a
new scam
going around
concerning
Social
Security
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has warned of a
new email scam that claims to be an official message from
SSA. The subject line says “Get Protected,” and the email
talks about new features that can help taxpayers monitor
their credit reports, and know about unauthorized use of
their Social Security number. However, links in the email
can lead the reader to inadvertently install malware.
Don’t open links in unsolicited emails. If you get something
like this, you can go online to Social Security’s web site to
check if it is legit. Their web site is SSA.gov. You can also
call Northland Shepherd’s Center and we will be glad to
help you investigate.
Miranda Wilson, LMSW Northland Shepherd's Center

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas

You can’t see or smell radon. Testing is the only
way to know your level of exposure. Radon can

The Easter Rising of 1916 has become the foundational myth of the modern Irish state.
The revolt itself was a quixotic act, involving no more than 1,500 people, and the whole
thing was crushed within a week at the cost of 450 lives, more than half of them civilians. 1916 Picture of the Easter Uprising
But the brutality of the British military afterwards, including several thousand arrests
and 16 executions, helped turn the “rainbow chasers” into national martyrs. The ruined
General Post Office on Sackville Street in Dublin, the rebels’ short-lived headquarters,
became the iconic symbol of the rising. For Irish nationalists Easter 1916 signaled the
rebirth of the nation – a stepping stone to Sinn Fein’s landslide victory in the 1918 election,
the war of independence against Britain from 1919 to 1921 and the creation of the Irish Free State
12:00 Lunch ~ $5.00 ~ Corn beef & cabbage, roll and dessert
Friday, April 8, 2016
Megan Shamleffer, Registered Dietitian @ Hy-Vee
Megan will be able to answer questions about some of the Old/New foods. We have all

salad, w/raisins and toasted almonds, roasted red, white, strawberry, purple, and yellow
potatoes, & chia seed pudding. Megan will bring the tasting spoons and cups.
Our condolences to the families of Evon & Jerry Jensen -dear volunteers
