September 11 at Lincoln South Rotary

Gina Cotton, Director of Development for Tabitha was our speaker. Gina spoke to the club about the full continuum of elder care at Tabitha which includes such services such as Meals on Wheels, Adult Daycare, Home Healthcare and Hospice to name a few.

Tabitha has a policy of serving all who request their services regardless of their ability to pay. They raise funds to fill in the gaps. Tabitha also takes the unique approach of listening to elders to determine what they want and need and then tailoring their services to fill the need.

Lincoln is in the middle of a large watershed which drains into Salt Creek. The watershed has 10 core of engineer dams built in the 60’s which have been estimated to save $78 million in flood damage since they were built. Then there are 100 smaller dams built upstream to slow down the water before it gets here. There are stream gauges along the way to measure water levels etc.
