Who was your club sponsor? Jim Steele
Why did you choose to get involved in Rotary?
At the time, I worked at Jorden & Cook and was working on the new Ursuline Motherhouse, Villa Angela. Jim was the engineer on the project and we became friends. He was also program coordinator for the club and invited me to speak about the Motherhouse. He suggested I visit the club a few times before my talk. I did, and loved the people and the atmosphere, and felt very comfortable by the time I presented. Soon after, Jim ‘popped the question’ and I was happy to accept.
What keeps you engaged in Rotary year after year?
Right now, I very much look forward to the fellowship and programming. I’ve been finding it hard to participate in much more than that lately and am grateful to maintain my rotary friendships.

I was Chair, Roses for Rotary for many years, Director on the Board for 7 years, Volunteer Coordinator for Rotary Ribfest, host-sister to Amora.

Favourite thing about living in Chatham-Kent?
Chatham offers the best of all things: we have everything we need, options for schools, entertainment and shopping, access to larger centres within an hour, and most importantly, the feeling of home and community surrounded by family and friends.
