| Community Involvement |
- Board
Member, Central Arizona
Water Conservation District.
-
Elected
by the voters of Pima County in 2002 to be a Board
Member to Central Arizona Water Conservation District
also refered to as CAP. CAP is the largest renewable
water source in central Arizona, delivering over
1.5M acre feet a year. I felt I needed to get involved
to protect our water supply. We need a strong water
supply to protect our two most important investments;
our home values and economic base. We must give
our children the opportunity to stay and thrive
in our community. Since being on the board, I have
facilitated using the easements along the CAP canals
for recreational trails in Pima County, opened discussion
on building a reliable storage facility in Pima
County, and currently helping to bring about a real
estate disclosure notifying homebuyers of the potential
of high water assessments if purchasing a home in
specific areas in the State of Arizona.

Co-founder and Board Member, Marana
Arts Council.
-
We know that to live full lives, all people need
opportunities to experience, appreciate, create,
and reflect upon art. With this vision, the
community officially recognized the Marana Arts
Council in January of 2001. We believe the arts
build communities, impact the business climate by
building a strong economic base, and play a meaningful
role in improving the lives of everyone. Art inspires
learning and achievement, improves observational
skills and perception, and helps children with multiple
learning styles to excel in school.
Co-founder, Tucson
Quarter Midget Association. -
This
racing environment is about children and family.
A Quarter Midget car is a scaled-down version of
an actual midget racer, approximately 1/4 scale.
It's a kid's (5-16 years old) racing sport that
involves the entire family. The children learn sportsmanship,
develop coordination, a sense of timing and the
ability to plan ahead. Kids learn to play hard and
also learn that rules must be observed. The program
helps the drivers gain self-reliance, confidence
and self-esteem while learning respect for themselves
and others. Once the green flag has dropped, they
are on their own. It is a life learning experience!
