Last year, Curative Connections -- a Green Bay nonprofit offering support for families with loved ones experiencing dementia, memory loss, cognitive disabilities and brain injuries -- debuted a revolutionary concept in reminiscent memory care. Yesteryear Village is an interactive village at its westside location which features settings from the past, including a 1960s diner, an old-fashioned gas station and a train car, where program participants (referred to as “members”) can be immersed in a familiar atmosphere. Yesteryear Village offers care that aims to trigger memories from its members’ early years, reduce anxiety and encourage freedom of choice and social interaction. “In a space like this, there are multiple things going on without it being overwhelming,” President and CEO Jeanne Stangel says. “If today you’re just not into it and you want to go sit in the gas station and read a magazine, it gives you that independence to make your own decision in a safe space.” Read more in the April issue, available now: https://loom.ly/-XArxOk

A new program starting in fall will offer University of Wisconsin-Green Bay students the chance to learn about manufacturing roles on the job at lakeshore companies while earning a good wage and tuition reimbursement. The Future Leaders in Manufacturing program was developed by UW-Green Bay starting in 2024 along with employer partners, says Kay Voss, director of the university’s career planning and professional connections office. “I think there’s a benefit right there on both sides,” Voss says. “[Manufacturers] know that students need this financial support to navigate through college, and then the employers need individuals to fill some of their open roles at this time as well.” 🔗 Read the full story in our March issue of Insight on #Manufacturing: https://loom.ly/4lXuqvE

Dick Schramer's first ride on a hovercraft in 2007 was an experience the former mayor of Berlin found exhilarating and one he dreamed of duplicating on his own pontoon.
