“Newcomer” Becomes First Founding Member
Verdigre
Why would a man born in Lincoln and raised in Chicago want to come to Verdigre, Nebraska, a place he had never heard of before he saw it?
Pat McCarron tells the story of checking out different ZCBJ* lodges—Czech fraternal organizations—in communities west of the Missouri River. When coming over the hill from Center, Nebraska, he can still see the little village “all laid out there.” He said he and Donna Zimmerman, a good friend who also resides in Verdigre now, stopped at Frank’s Food Mart, located next to the ZCBJ Bila Hora Hall at the time. They wanted to find out the meaning of “Bila Hora.”

Gift Endows Exeter Area and NCF
Louisa and Richard Manning
Richard Manning admits that he likes to kid around. However, the recent charitable gift that he and his wife, Louisa, have made will have a truly meaningful impact for generations to come.
Richard and Louisa Manning, who are both 1944 graduates of Exeter High School, used a charitable IRA distribution to make a $50,000 challenge grant to the Exeter Community Foundation Fund to establish an unrestricted endowment. The community must raise $100,000 in additional funds over a three-year time frame.
In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Manning contributed $50,000 to the Nebraska Community Foundation’s endowment. This generous gift holds even more value because it will qualify for matching funds from the Ford Foundation Challenge grant.
