I joined Don Cherry Auxiliary 5083 in 1996. I joined under my grandpa who was in the Navy during WW II and was stationed in the Asiatic/Pacific. He was also a charter member of our Post.

I have served in most offices in my Auxiliary and District up to and including President several times. I am now Secretary-Treasurer of my Auxiliary and Secretary of my District. I have also served as chairman in Auxiliary, District, and Department.

I served as Department President during the 2021-2022 year. I loved meeting all the members and I still enjoy all the friends I have made and continue to make.

I retired after 30 years with the US Postal Service. I am not sure how I ever worked. I am busier now than ever!

I am currently National Council Member area 5 for Illinois and Missouri. I love learning what they are doing and sharing how we do things with them. Its been a wonderful experience.

I am currently serving as Department Secretary. I enjoy helping our members.
