I am currently serving on the National Christ Child Society
Board as Vice President of Planning. I am completing my
fourth 2-year term. On the National Board I have served as
Newsletter editor, Treasurer and Vice President of Planning.
I have been a member of Christ Child Society of South Bend
since 1989. On the South Bend CCS Board I have served as
Recording Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President of Fund
Raising, and President.
In addition to serving on the Christ Child Society boards,
in my community and on the National Board I have served as
treasurer for my children’s schools and local community
organizations. I have two children, four grandchildren. I
was born in Austria and immigrated to the United States with
my parents at 5 months of age. I enjoy quilting, gardening
traveling and most of all my family.
