I live in Stillwater with my two boys, Jack (7) and Gavin (6).  They love sports and participate in baseball, soccer, hockey, and basketball – not all at one time, thankfully!  They enjoy school and have amazing teachers at Rutherford Elementary.   Outside of my work at Lake Elmo Bank, I am the current Board Chair of the Partnership Plan and Treasurer of Bridge to Books, the nonprofit my sisters and I founded.  I enjoy reading, yoga, podcasts, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends!   I joined Rotary in 2013 in the Woodbury club and transferred to the Stillwater club in 2016.  I served as President from 2021-2022.   I am grateful for the friendships and connections I’ve made through Rotary.  A highlight of my Rotary involvement was attending the Rotary International Convention in Houston in 2022.

 

  

  

 

  

 

What a fun meeting. Peter asked random AI generated questions about members. Some fun answers and we all learned a little. 

 

  

 

 

 

At the district midterm conference there was a panel discussion about new membership ideas. There was also a preview of some preparation work for the 2028 Rotary International Convention. As well as great ideas and fellowship.

Thank you, Amanda, Bob, Kim, Steve, Lois, Dave, Scott, Bev, Patty, Jonathan, Tracey and Katie, for taking the time to ring the bell for the Salvation Army on 12/10/25 

 

 During our bell ringing shift, we raised $1,088 for the Salvation Army!  That’s 3x more than last year – but we had frigid cold and wind last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU to Patty, Sharon, Tom, Lois, Katie, Amanda, Bev, Clare and Sam (Clare’s son) for packing 40 backpacks for United Way’s Stuff the Bus campaign.  They helped ensure that local kids would have all that they need to succeed on the first day of school.   Service above self in action!
