Volunteer/Service Passions 

As a military wife for decades, Ann has a long history of volunteering and supporting our troops. Her love for her community and its lovely community center, led her to give back more by volunteering with the Friends of Fallbrook Community Center for more than a decade. Her classes have also come together over the years to donate thousands of dollars to various local charities.

 

Ann is a past recipient of the Volunteer of the Year by the San Diego County Parks & Recreation Department and FFCC as a whole for Non-Profit of the Year by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. She has also received multiple recognitions by the California State Senate for Outstanding Community Service by Senator Joel Anderson and is a recipient of a Health Care Champion award for the Fallbrook Regional Health Care District. Ann notes these awards are not her own, they are for working together with the community and other volunteers who make the world better place.

 

Personal

Married many happy years to a loving husband who encourages her passions and a proud Mama to 2 wonderful daughters. Ann confesses she could easily be a crazy cat lady if her family would let her, but at present, shares her home with just 1 cat, 1 husband, 1 dog and 1 of her two daughters. Ann also shares her organic yard with thousands of squirrels, birds, bunnies, gophers, etc. Ann feels her life is so much richer for the honor of learning from her students as well as teaching and supporting them.
