Although I have only lived on Midway Parkway since 2003, I have had strong connections to the neighborhood most of my life. Precious childhood memories of family picnics in the park, zoo visits and my first carousel ride at the State Fair helped shape the values and traditions I brought to my own children now grown. Now that I am fortunate to own a home here, I am happy to give back to the community I have always loved by serving on the District 10 Community Council.
