|
|
|
Scoon, a resident of Sturgeon Bay, WI, joined Unity as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in July 2021. Prior to her employment with Unity, she served in housekeeping at Golden Living - Dorchester where she quickly discovered her passion for interacting with residents. Coworkers who recognized her kind heart and how good she was with residents, along with her mom, encouraged her to complete the CNA training program. Scoon states “I am sincerely honored and grateful for this scholarship which is providing me the finances to follow my dreams! This is life changing. I wouldn’t be able to pursue a degree in nursing and become a registered nurse without it. I have an amazing support system throughout my Unity family and personal family. This is a new journey everyone is on with me and I know I can do it right for myself, Unity, and Florence. |

For over three decades, Lions Clubs around the globe have been sponsoring a very special art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters allows children everywhere to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. The 2022-2023 Theme was "Lead With Compassion."
Clintonville Middle School-aged students worked hard on their posters this year, and there were several great designs. We did an anonymous judging, and the top three winners were: 1st Place - Marisol; 2nd Place Felicity; and 3rd Place - Alyssa.
Congratulations to our 2022 local artists. They each received a cash prize for winning at the local level. Marisol's poster continued to the Wisconsin District 27 B2 Peace Poster contest, where they selected a new winner to go onto USA nationals. Congratulations to the winners!

Van Asten Retiring After 32-Year Career with First State Bank
New London, Wisconsin – First State Bank announced that chief executive officer and former bank president, Bob Van Asten, is retiring on March 31, after a 32-year career with First State Bank and 35 years in banking.
Van Asten joined First State Bank in 1991 as an assistant vice president responsible for developing and maintaining commercial and agricultural loan relationships. Over the years, he advanced in the organization holding positions of vice president, Clintonville branch manager, senior vice president and business banking manager, and senior credit officer. Van Asten was named president and elected to First State Bank’s board of directors in 2015, becoming chief executive officer (CEO) in February 2016.
Following the announcement of his retirement plans late last year, Matthew R. Lemke was named in January to succeed Van Asten as president. Van Asten continued in his role as CEO, working closely with Lemke and the bank’s board of directors to assure a smooth transition.
Under Van Asten’s leadership, First State Bank’s total assets grew from $260 million in 2016 to $539 million. This growth included the expansion of the bank’s market area into Central Wisconsin with the acquisition of the former Farmers and Merchants Bank in Rudolph in 2017 and Pioneer Bank in 2020. First State Bank also built a larger facility in Stevens Point last year and began construction on its new corporate headquarters in downtown New London in January.
During his career, Van Asten was involved in both the New London and Clintonville communities. He has been a member of the New London Rotary Club since 1991 and served as treasurer for 10 years. He was director and past chairman of the board of directors for the Clintonville Area Foundation. Van Asten has also served on the board of directors and as past board chairman for the New London Family Medical Center, as a director for the Wolf River Area Heath Care Foundation, and as a director and president of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce.
