OUR BOARD MEMBERS

I am a retired Hairdresser. After doing hair for 30 years I decided it was time to hang up the shears and do other things.  I was self-employed for 28 of those years enjoying renting stations in different salons. 

I now am enjoying life out in Orono with my husband and many hobbies.  We have 4 Grandsons who also help keep us very busy.

I’ve never sat on a board before but am very interested in getting involved with this organization. I feel strongly about helping out the people in our community to make everyone stronger and happier. I believe that we should have the” It Takes a Village” mentality.  I believe this organization brings home the sense of Family that is so strongly needed in these times of trouble.
