Natilou (Nat) Benipayo is our newest Lincoln Rotary member! Nat has been married to her husband, Rod, for 38 years and they have two daughters and five grandchildren. She was an Air Force wife, and was a banker by profession for over 30 years, including 21 years in Germany. She and her husband moved to Lincoln in 2015 and became travel specialists. We are so excited to have Nat join our group.
Darrell is Nat's sponsor, and Mary Ann and Susan are her mentors!
They did an incredible job educating us all on what exactly the probation department does. They are part social workers and part law enforcement.
Did you know that 85-90% of people on probation have struggled with drug or alcohol use?
The Placer County Probation Department has quite a vision cast for addressing the homeless situation in Placer County, and it's not unreachable! It will take collaboration, forethought and commitment from all of us citizens, but it's definitely doable.
Stay tuned for more in the future on how Rotary can partner in this area!
