I was born and raised on a dairy farm north of Green Bay with 2 older sisters.  We all attended a one-room school and my first job was teaching, also in a one room school wih 35 students in all 8 grades. Quite a challenge! I also taught for several years in Neenah and Mequon.  After completion of a MS in library science, I worked in school and public libraries in Manitowoc and Mequon. This led to my favoirite job as director of the Weyenberg Library of Mequon-Thiensville where I served for 20 years.  It was during this time that I joined the Sunrise Rotary as it fit my work schedule at a busy library.

My family was always involved in our community and Rotary has provided me with a way to follow in their footsteps. I have served on many committees and worked on many Rotary projects both in our club and at the district level.  My greatest Rotary "moments" have been as an Assistant Governor for 5 years and as the Group Leader for a Rotary Group Study Exchange to South Korea in 2001.  I hope to continue my involvement with our Sunrise Rotary and help to keep it an active service organization in our community.
