I have been a proud member of the Wenatchee Central Lions Club since 2023. When I raised my hand to join, I made a commitment to be actively involved. I was raised with a servant’s heart—dedicating my time and energy to making a difference. Our motto, “We Serve,” is more than just words; it’s the foundation of everything we do for our club and community.

We offer a wide range of annual activities and committees, so no matter what your passion is, there’s a place for you to contribute your time and talents.

​

I am honored to serve as President-Elect and look forward to leading our club as we live out our motto and let the community hear the roar of the Lions!

Outside of Lions, I am a full-time Realtor and serve on the Board of Directors for the North Central Washington Association of Realtors, advocating for the rights of homeowners and landowners. In my role as Events Director, I plan and execute educational meetings, community outreach, and networking events.

I look forward to continuing my journey with the Wenatchee Central Lions Club. Our doors are always open, and I would love for you to join us as a guest at one of our meetings!

It was my honor to serve as your 24-25 Lions President. I have been a member for 10 years and 9 of those I have served on the board. My goals for the club were to have a membership drive, to develop a media team to promote our club within the community, and to work closer with other Lions clubs in the area. The fun side of this office will be our social committee to promote lots of fun and friendships. I was born here and am one of 8 kids. All 8 of us went to WHS! I have 1 daughter, 4 grandchildren, 1 great grandson and 1 great granddaughter. I was a floral manager for Safeway, owned Melanies Courtyard Cafe for 13 years, I serve on the board for the Wenatchee Senior Center and their fund-raising committee. I volunteer at TTC for ticket scanning for events, as you can see the busier I am the happier I am. I invite anyone reading this to come join us or contact me so I can share what we do and answer any question. For me volunteering fills a hole in my heart.
