Summary

I have spent many years coordinating all kinds of events, schedules and communicating on the telephone and the computer. Through my working years and now through my volunteering.

I have been very active in volunteering at my church and I will continue visiting those who are unable to make it to church, mostly our older adults. But I have made the decision to step from board work.
