Wanted: People With A Heart To Serve New Holland Re-Uzit Shop Seeks Board Members
ori Bennett, a member of the board of the New Holland ReUzit Shop, shared that one of the main requirements the organization is looking for in new board members is a “Christian heart focused on wanting to serve.” Bennett knows that such people are present in the local area. “This community has so many wonderful people who have a passion for serving and have some really neat gifts the board can use,” she said. The current board of six has made it a mission to expand membership to nine or more. “We want to reach out … beyond our circles and find some people who have the potential to be really good board members,” Bennett said.

half of the staff of 18 is full time; accounting and finance; and legal issues. Bennett noted that skills in those areas could help the organization move forward with plans for the future. “ We are looking to do some exciting things,” said Bennett. Currently, the board meets every other month, normally in the evening, but individual committees often get together in between those meetings. “It’s not a huge time commitment, but (a minimum amount of) time will be necessary,” Bennett noted. The New Holland Re-Uzit Shop has been a fixture in the area for decades, having opened in 1976. Originally, the shop was located near the intersection of Main Street and Railroad Avenue, but 12 years ago, it was moved to the former Good’s Furniture location at 707 W. Main St. “August 2 was our 46th anniversary,” said Sherry Duda, who shares general manager duties with Andy Clayton. See Re-Uzit pg 5

Lori Breece, manager with United Disabilities Services (UDS) service dogs, especially likes coming to work on Wednesdays because that is when Quincy, a UDS ambassador dog, spends the day with her. “(Quincy) is the best dog,” said Breece. “This morning, I dropped a paper towel, and he picked it up and gave it to me.” Quincy was trained to be a full-service dog, but health issues kept him from that role.
