  • TOUCH a LIFE. Sheboygan & Plymouth Area United Way Annual Report 2010
    REACH OUT AND TOUCH A LIFE. Sheboygan & Plymouth Area United Way Annual Report 2010 Sheboygan & Plymouth Area United Way Dear United Way Supporters, Living in Sheboygan County we are reminded every day of the blessings we have for our families and ourselves by the natural beauty of our countryside, leadership that is willing to assume the responsibility of improving our community and the generosity of Sheboygan County residents. In 2010 we saw that generosity unfold with a successful campaign led by Jim and Jan Sartori, with the assistance of their campaign cabinet. In 2010 the United Way campaign raised $2,304,000 the largest and most successful fundraising effort in the almost 80 year history of this organization. This was an incredible accomplishment in a difficult economic environment. People caring about others, putting community and the needs of individuals less fortunate above our own personal needs was the strength of the 2010 campaign. Jim and Jan are inspiring individuals that care deeply about our community, realizing that happiness is found in giving more than in receiving and understanding that gratitude is the parent of all virtues. They were able to build a first rate team on their campaign cabinet and fan out across our community, extending the reach of the campaign, bringing the community closer together by their hard work. Though we are blessed to live in this wonderful community, we are reminded by the demands on our affiliated agencies’ programs funded by United Way and by the difficulties that many individuals and families still face in our struggling economy.

  • Testimony James M. (Buddy) Robinson IV Senior Vice President-General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Kohler Co
    Testimony James M. (Buddy) Robinson IV Senior Vice President-General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Kohler Co. House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade June 4, 2013 I. Introduction Mr. Chairman, Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to present Kohler Co.’s perspective on the current housing situation in the United States and prospects for its future. As others have noted, U.S. Census Bureau figures showed that U.S. builders broke ground on fewer homes in April than in the previous month, when they hit the rate of just over 1 million starts, the highest level since 2008. Analysts quickly blamed the decline on drops in apartment construction, which can be volatile. At the same time, housing sales rebounded smartly in April, and applications for building permits achieved the highest rate since June 2008. Although housing starts may exceed 1 million for 2013, no one in the industry would claim this is a robust market by historic standards. It is well below the 2 million starts of the 2005 boom levels, but appreciably above the 500,000 bottom experienced in 2009. Generally speaking, Kohler Co. is bullish on prospects for continued recovery and growth in the housing market. However, there are also a number of economic challenges and federal policies confronting America that could derail our rosy outlook if they are not addressed by Congress. Primary among these is accessibility to affordable housing and remodeling financing. That takes into account incentives such as the mortgage interest deduction and other critical housing tax incentives.

  • Ruth Deyoung Kohler II (1941-2020)
    Ruth DeYoung Kohler II (1941-2020) Ruth DeYoung Kohler II, 79, of Kohler, passed away on November 14, 2020 at her home. She was born on October 24, 1941 to Herbert V. Kohler, Sr. and Ruth DeYoung Kohler. Ruth was a tireless champion of under-recognized artists and art forms. She saw the arts as a driver of positive social change, upholding the pillars of diversity, inclusiveness and community involvement. She believed passionately that the arts, in all its iterations, reveal who we are as a people: past, present and future. Through her work at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Kohler Foundation Inc., National Endowment for the Arts, and the Wisconsin Arts Board, among others, she promoted equitable and inclusive access to the arts in her local community, her home state of Wisconsin, and on national and international levels. Ruth graduated from Ferry Hall School, Lake Forest, Illinois in 1959. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in art and art history at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and pursuing further studies at University of Wisconsin and the University of Hamburg, Ruth spent a year in Wisconsin teaching art in Beloit public schools. She then joined the faculty at University of Alberta-Calgary, Canada where she founded the printmaking program. That was followed by more than a year in Spain working as an artist and exploring the region's vernacular and Paleolithic art. She served as the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s Director from 1972–2016, having started as a volunteer and holding the position of Assistant Director from 1968–1972.
