Volunteering and other work in the community
St. Johns Lutheran Congregational Council
Beginning in 2007, I served as a Member-At-Large on the Congregational Council. My term ended as of May 1, 2013; at which time I had served for the maximum allowed 6 consecutive years and had to step down. In my 6 years on the council, I’ve really enjoyed working with the other council members as we attempted to keep the church on it’s path. We accomplished many things such as adding a preschool/daycare, a new furnace and air conditioning unit, as well as losing and replacing our Senior Pastor (retired) and our Associate Pastor (took job as senior pastor elsewhere). We’ve also added a third pastor who works closely with Jamestown College and the Lutheran Campus Ministry. I continue to serve on several committees for St. Johns.
United Way Board of Directors
Beginning in 2011, I accepted a position on the Board of Directors for the local United Way chapter. I served a three year term that ended in 2014. I also serving as the Board Treasurer for the year 2012 and 2013.
