"During the last 28 years of living in
Anacortes with my husband and raising our two daughters I have been
involved in many kinds of non-profit and volunteer work; some state but mostly local, and mostly related to arts education. I also
play in a recorder quartet, am in a book group, enjoy sewing,
gardening & cooking. Prompted by one of my daughters'
battle with and survival of leukemia which entailed the use of
countless blood products and a stem cell transplant, I am a regular
blood donor and am in the national bone marrow donor bank.
I was raised in a family that valued community service, with my mom a very special and dedicated role model. When our girls got older and moved on to lives on their own, Soroptimist seemed a natural fit for me. The women of our club are the best - talented, smart, compassionate and energetic. I have found use for both the business and non-profit skills gained through my lifetime, especially in helping with the clerical organization of one of our main fundraising events - HalloWine. It's a joy to work with a bunch of gals who easily choose causes to support, mostly local, but also national and international, figure out the best ways to raise funds for them, roll up their sleeves and pitch in until each job is beautifully done. All to improve the lives of women and girls."
