Greetings from Liz

4 | The Thompson Center on Lourdes

Last July the Thompson Center on Lourdes reopened our doors after being closed

for almost 4 months due to COVID-19. Although we opened with limited activities,

days and participants we had hope. Most organizations have never faced so much

change in a short period of time. The focus of TCoL was to ensure a safe place for

our participants to come and attend enriching activities. The question on everyone’s

mind was “when will we get back to normal”. The pandemic shut down businesses,

impacted our everyday routines and took the lives of millions. We saw shortages on

items like toilet paper and cleaning supplies. But what was “normal” in our lives has

changed. But we also saw some positive impacts – like families spending more time

together and people washing their hands for 20 seconds! How we live life will be

changed forever.

For the most part, I’d like to think that I’m a positive and optimistic person. So, I’d

like to call our new way of life as “Back to Better”. If I think of some of the changes

that TCoL has made, I’d say it’s better than pre-COVID. TCoL now has a YouTube

channel! We offer classes in-person and virtually and even have videos of activities

on our website. We’ve thought “out of the box” to bring unique events like Parking

Lot Bingo! Participants can put money on their account versus paying each

time. We no longer use envelopes to collect money for activities but use Senior

Space to keep track of fees for activities. Participants now preregister for activities,

which helps with set-up and the ability to contact participants if something has

changed with the activity. With the help of many organizations and volunteers TCoL

has a bigger entrance, new offices, and more electrical outlets for our quilters. We

saw so many acts of kindness – like the quilters making masks for TCoL and others.

Most importantly, TCoL has heard from participants, telling us how much they

appreciate the Thompson Center on Lourdes and all the activities and people. I

believe we have become truly grateful for the little things that we took for granted –

like a hug, a smile, seeing a friend.

TCoL will be open 5 days a week in July and we’re Back to Better!

Volunteer Spotlight

22 | The Thompson Center on Lourdes

Meet Glenn Erdmann, the lead instructor for stained glass and fused

glass. Glenn moved to Appleton from Manitowoc 55 years ago. He and Lois recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have chil-

dren and grandchildren living in Appleton, Hortonville and Tucson, AZ. The “snowbirds” spend the winter months in Green Valley, AZ, a

southern suburb of Tucson.

Glenn has two associates degrees in accounting and computers and is retired from Thrivent. Some of his interests are playing golf, sheeps-head, other card games, traveling and gardening, especially growing

hosta plants. He learned stained glass construction 30 years ago by taking classes at FVTC and now teaches four types of stained glass—foiled, mosaic, fused/slumped and lead came construction. The

enjoyment he gets from seeing students learn the art/craft and seeing their beautiful, finished pieces has had him teaching in Appleton at TCoL, YMCA, many senior living residences and the RV Resort

Park in AZ for over 12 years. Glenn is very proud to have assisted almost 400 students a year mak-ing fused glass Christian crosses at Christian grade schools and churches as far as Brillion and New

London and also in AZ.

Thank you, Glenn, for your dedication to helping so many learn this fulfilling craft.
