Dougal Nelson Habitat for Humanities North Scott Rotary Member
Dougal Nelson, and his wife Pam of 31 years, are both lifelong residents of the Quad Cities. After
graduating from Western Illinois University, Dougal went on to become Vice President of Sales at
Isabel Bloom for many years. Driven by memories of his childhood years, his passion for the com-
munity, and wanting to give back, Dougal decided in late 2011 to leave Isabel Bloom and pursue a
career in helping those less fortunate. Dougal had previously volunteered at the Red Cross, Junior
Achievement and for Habitat for Humanity. Having witnessed what a community can do for those
in need, it seemed like a natural fit for him to be closer to the missions he so believed in. In No-
vember 2011, Dougal accepted the position as Director of Development with Habitat for Humanity
Quad Cities. His goals are widespread; however, eliminating generational poverty is most im-
portant to Dougal.
Habitat for Humanity is a Christian based organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing.
Serving low income, working families who earn 30% to 60% of the median income average, Habi-
tat has helped 75 families realize the dream of home ownership since 1993 in the QC’s. Families
are selected into the program based on need, willingness to partner, and the ability to pay a mort-
gage. Owning a home gives families a sense of dignity and pride, and provides safety and security.
Did you know that children of home owners…
have a 25% greater chance of graduating from high school.
are twice as likely to go on to higher education.
are 60% less likely to give birth as an unmarried teen.
are 50% less likely to be idle or dependent on welfare.
Habitat for Humanity is better communities, neighbors helping neighbors, new lights shining in
windows once darkened by blight. It’s a street reclaimed from abandonment or floodwaters, a block
rebuilt after a tornado or an economic tremor. It’s a house built in joy and dedicated with love. It’s
happening in our community and it’s waiting for YOU!
THIS FRIDAY AT THE STEEPLEGATE
Last Week – Davenport Youth Corps – July 13, 2012
Dana and Devonta, students with the Davenport Youth Corps, gave an informa;ve program on the organiza;on
which helps high school age disadvantaged youth, learn to be successful and prepare for college. Their sponsor,
Riley Vaughn was also a guest of the club. Dana and Devonta both struggled with the first two years of high
school, but have both recently graduated. When a student enters the program, they are required to do 300
hours of community service and a.end numerous training sessions. They pick an area of interest and the adult
volunteers; help place them into a suitable “job type” situa;on. These 2 students are both interested in commu-
nica;ons and prepared the video and power point used at the club mee;ng.
Sixty one a.ended on Friday, including Be.endorf Rotarian, Todd Ashby and Joan Richards, guest of John Max-
well. Paul Holzworth and his wife, Marguerite, on the piano, led the club in song. John donated a case of peach-
es to con;nue raising money for polio. $54 was received for the peaches and $20 for the July Birthday cake. Jim
Smith was the sergeant and collected $67 in fine money. He had $1 fines for just about everyone in the club. $40
went to the educa;on fund in honor of Brad Burt’s new daughter, Eden Olivia, and for Jim Koehler’s grandson,
who just completed his second year of medical school.
Mikel insisted the best part of his trip was a ride (driving) a combine with John Maxwell. In case you did not rec-
ognize Mikel, he received a BUZZ during his trip.
Mikel Ursua Alonso
