Dr. Tom Osborne

Dr. Tom Osborne spoke to a joint meeting this noon  of the Seward Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs. All 3 Clubs ate together; then moved to the auditorium where Dr. Osborne spoke on the TeamMates program which he and wife Nancy began back in 1991. He spoke of it starting out by he and the coaches mentoring football players and has grown to a very popular program throughout High Schools in Nebraska. Rick Weatherholt, TeamMates coordinator, told of our goal of reaching 50 matches of Mentor and Mentee here in SHS. Dr. Osborne told of the high number of students today that need to know that someone cares personally about them. He talked of the need for "Agape", (unconditional love). He also told of how a Circuit Riding Minister had influenced the life of his Grandfather and subsequently his life. And, how one person can have a multiplying effect  in improving lives by giving HOPE.
