I currently serve on the National Board of the Christ Child Society as a Director at Large. My focus is on finance, budget, by laws and committees. I have been on the National Board since October 2008. I have been a member of the Cleveland Christ Child Society for 26 years. At the Cleveland chapter I served in many board capacities and as President from 2000 to 2002. I currently direct and manage the Cleveland Chapter endowment fund.

In addition to my service to Christ Child Society I am a past board member of United Way of Cleveland, Catholic Charities, St. Edward High School and St. Augustine Academy. I have also served as President of the Bar Auxiliary of Cleveland, St. Raphael Parish Council and the Catholic Education Endowment Trust, and was appointed foreman of the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury. I am the mother of 10 children and have 25 grandchildren. I like gardening, talk radio and books on tape. Presently, as a board member of my local Historical Society, I am working on the 200th anniversary celebration of the arrival of the first settlers to our lakefront community west of Cleveland on 10/10/1810.
