Why do you wish to serve as a member of this Board or Commission:
I feel like I can best give back to the community by becoming a member of the Patterson House Advisory Board. I am at a point in my life where I can appreciate the local natural and historic features of the Tri City area, and I want to preserve and share them with others.

I have been a resident of the Tri City area for over 50 years. I grew up in Union City, moved to Fremont briefly, then moved back to Union City to raise two daughters. As a staff member of the Fremont Chamber, I know many of the local business leaders. I can leverage this to help the Patterson House.
