"Twenty some years ago, Olan Mahlmann was the driving force in moving the Society of St. Vincent de Paul-Notre Dame from a small, rock house operation to the successful financial aid office/food pantry that it is today. When the Conference was struggling to maintain sufficient funds to help our neighbors in need, Olan's leadership established an all-volunteer run thrift store in a renovated building to provide a steady source of income with which to assist others in our community. Vincentians today owe Olan a tremendous debt of gratitude for what he accomplished many years ago. Rest in Peace, Olan. Our condolences to Kay and the family."
