This information is provided by the candidate
I was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. I worked my way through
the University of Wisconsin, Madison and graduated with a BA
in Spanish in 1975. I moved to California in 1977 and by
1980 had started Medical Communications, a new, medical-only
answering service. After selling my business, I joined
ALDON Computer Group in Oakland. They had two other
employees and 25 customers when I began running their
office; three years later I switched to marketing their
techincal software. When I left to marry, they had more
than 500 customers and 25 employees.
At the Recreation & Park District I have served in the
following capacities: member, Program Committee (2000 and
2001); Secretary, Maintenance Committee (2001-our proposals
have saved the District over $20,000 so far); member,
Facilities Committee (2001); volunteer office assistant to
General Manager, Barbara Day, working on the Policy Manual
(2002); and more. I serve my community in general in these
additional ways: classroom volunteer at Redwood Elementary
since 1998; member, Citizens Against Redevelopment.
