Gil

Greetings!

Hello, I'm Gil Malkowsky and I don't just wear the shirt, I live the shirt. As far as I can remember, I was always taught, through words and actions, that you can not live in a community without giving back, and I've been doing so for many years!

I have volunteered for over 25 years at the Oshkosh Area United Way on the Allocations Committee and by performing monthly bank account reconciliations. Since 1993, I've been a volunteer with SCORE as Secretary of the organization and by counseling small business clients. I'm also a volunteer at the Bethel Foundation, Oshkosh Community Credit Union and have even done past volunteer work for the Red Cross and Boy Scouts.

I'm an active retiree and I am thankful that I can get up every day and help. I need to contribute to the Oshkosh community. There are so many in our community who have bad luck and these people need help. I am proud that I am able to volunteer and LIVE UNITED.
