I am a goal setter and want to build our community. I want to let people know just how great the Lakes Of Melbourne community is to live in.
Affiliations
I am a people person so I like helping people in this community. I am a retired Cosmetoligist so I go to people home that can't get out and do their hair and I don't charge them if they ask I say "whatever they fell like giving me". I am just doing it because I am not ready to set and do nothing.
