I was welcomed to SITD at the December 8, 2022 meeting.During her Bee Buzz speech, Linda shared with us all the reasons she should
not be living in Truckee! Not being much of a winter warrior, it is the community
and the people that drew her to live here full time.
I am a transplant to Truckee after spending 40+ years in the Bay Area, raising 2 children while juggling a full time job working in high tech in Silicon Valley. I was a software development manager at Sun Microsystems
before my first retirement in 2006. Instead of letting one of my staff go during one of
the many layoffs, I raised my hand and volunteered to leave the company.
The 2015 move to Truckee was prompted by my divorce in which I got the best
part of marital settlement - the rental house in Truckee. My second retirement was
from the Truckee Donner Land Trust in June 2022 as their office manager. After
5 years focusing on Environment, it is time for a focus on Social Service which brings
me to Soroptimists!
I have jumped in with both feet at CIT helping Angela White, Lynette Powell, and Philippa Nigg on the 2022 Toy Drive with Truckee Community Cares.
