What I actually do at Zion … I maintain the website, keep the membership database updated, edit the newsletter, look after the archives, work on a lot of posters & brochures, and help with the office computers.
How I came to be involved with Zion … My husband’s family has been members since the congregation was founded, so I guess I married into Zion. I got involved with Harvest of Hands, Joyful Ringers, Church Council and Sunday School. In 2001 I started working 4 hours a week in the front office; that has now become 4 days. I still play handbells, and like to hang out with the youth group.
I was born … far, far away in Tasmania, Australia
My family … Kirk and I were married in 1991 and have three children; Emily, Trevor and Karin. We live on the family dairy farm just a couple of miles from Zion.
When I’m not at Zion, you can find me … Gardening, baking, playing word games, or working on the website for the Buffalo High School marching band.
On living in Buffalo, Minnesota … I still think it is really cold here, but I can not imagine living anywhere else.
Something you might not know about me is . . . My four years of school after 12th grade didn’t add up to any kind of degree and included a year as a Rotary Exchange Student (here in Buffalo), and an odd assortment of college and other classes including architecture, hospitality, general studies, farm management, and medical secretary (in Australia and at Willmar Tech).
