As part of its employee match program, Enerquip has proudly donated $500 to the Jean M. Thomsen Memorial Library in Stetsonville, WI. The funds helped build Nicole’s Nook, an outdoor reading area in loving memory of Nicole Buechel.
A former teacher at the Stetsonville Elementary School, Nicole passed away in 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer. Nicole had a passion for reading and learning and spent many days at the Jean M. Thomsen Memorial Library in hopes of passing that passion on to her children and students. For several years, Nicole also volunteered as Secretary on the library’s Board of Trustees.
Her family and friends wish to keep her memory alive through Nicole’s Nook, a gazebo at the Jean M. Thomsen Memorial Library. Through summer reading programs and other activities, this space will be available to help teach future generations the value of reading and education.
Enerquip is committed to supporting and encouraging its employees to lift others through giving and service. Therefore, Enerquip provides gifts to organizations at 100% of the employee’s contribution up to $500 per employee per calendar year, including volunteer hours.
This employee match from Enerquip Design Engineer Jesse Jensen includes his own contributions to Nicole’s Nook.
