Meet The Leaders

My purpose in life is to make people happy and put a smile on their face.  Serving as a leader for Chicktime Bulverde allows me to fulfill my purpose.

My passions in life are what led me to Chicktime.  I truly love to help people and make them happy. I was very fortunate to be blessed with a little brother, Craig, who has Down Syndrome.  He has been one of my greatest influences in my life. Forty-Five years ago, people had a hard time accepting those who were different from them. Craig was not treated very nicely.  People would stare; make fun of him; resulting in making him feel sad. It was hard for me to witness that.  So, when I was in my teens, I started working with individuals with special needs, and visiting people in nursing homes and the State Hospital to make them feel wanted and loved.  It is through my brother and working/visiting with those in needs that I have learned how to love unconditionally, to be patient, to understand, to be a good listener, to care.

My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. We love to travel and hope to visit all 50 states and their capitols.  We also like to fish and play games.

Why I serve a leadership role:

I have always been an active person, blessed by raising 3 daughters, volunteering for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and maintaining a busy work schedule.  Now that my children have “flown the coup” and I retired, the Lord graciously brought me to Chicktime.  I have been involved with several of the Chicktime chapters and can’t ever imagine NOT being connected with these children.   

My passions and gifts:

I love to organize and plan events.  In fact, my family calls me “the planner” and they are “the doers”! I love walking, watching sports and sightseeing around Texas with my husband in our Jeep!!

 

My hobbies and interests:

My favorite hobby is “gifting”; whether it be sewing, needlepoint or crocheting a gift for someone.  I have made blankets, shawls, Christmas stockings, Halloween costumes-anything that makes someone feel that they are special and loved!  I also have a great love for reading history and enjoy sharing what I have learned with others.

Why I serve a leadership role in Chicktime:

I enjoy making someone’s day a little brighter and showing the children that a group of people care enough to show up for them every month!

My passions and gifts:

I am easy going, patient, and imaginative.  I am passionate about learning and I am very devoted to my family and friends.

Hobbies and Interests:

I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, reading, traveling, exploring Texas, and being outdoors.
