Community
Playing an active part in the community is essential. Schools provide more than just an education and working with various organizations in the community allows me to see the district, its strengths and opportunities, and its people more broadly.
PRISM
For six years I served as a board member for PRISM, People Responding in Social Ministry. My two years as PRISM Board Chair included the planning and moving to their new location in Golden Valley. I have been a long time supporter of Empty Bowls which benefits both PRISM and the Seven Dreams Education Foundation.
Seven Dreams
My husband Jeff and I are supporters of the Seven Dreams Foundation and have attended their Bird Bash fundraiser.
Clare House
We have served as table captains for the Claire Housing Annual Fundraiser which raises money to provide housing for persons with AIDS.
Simpson Shelter
For over ten years Jeff and I, along with members of Spirit of Hope UMC in Golden Valley, have helped prepare and serve a monthly meal to persons experiencing homelessness at Simpson Shelter in Minneapolis.
