DCPAAA Class - Class II
Year Joined Alumni - 1999 - I have served as Chairman of the Caring Hands Committee,
Parliamentarian and President since 2005.
Why I Volunteer? - It is a way I can give back to the community that I was born and raised in.
It also gives me an opportunity to meet other people that are truly interested in making our community the best it can be. Besides, I want to leave a community
that future generations will want to live in and raise their families in.
Reason for Joining DCPAAA - At our very first CPA class a group from the First class came and talked to us about forming an Alumni and
needed people to help get it organized, so I jumped on board and after many organizational meetings the DCPAAA was born. I stay involved because
it is a very worthwhile organization. Because the police department is a necessity in our community and the men and women who work for the department
are willing to put themselves on the line for me, my family and property. I feel that this is just one small way I can give back to them and their families
and let them know how much I admire, appreciate and respect them for their dedication.
Career History - I was a stay at home wife and mother until our children were in Junior High and High School and I decided it was time to come out of my "shell".
I have been working for the Dickinson ISD for twenty-five years now and I love my job. I have always been on the McAdams Junior High Campus. I started out as Receptionist,
then Secretary to the Asst. Principal and for the last twelve years I have been the Attendance/Data Entry Secretary. My motto is "There are no bad kids just young people
that need a little more guidance."

Why I Volunteer? - Volunteering is about helping
people and the reward is seeing their faces and expressions. I feel JOY every time I volunteer and know my time is appreciated.
Reason for Joining DCPAAA - I joined DCPAAA because of the great group of people. It's the first thing I did after I retired....to
continue involvement in a worthwhile organization. I love the people and the outreach to the community.
Career History - I worked 37 years for Monsanto Company/Sterling Chemicals Inc in Texas City and the downtown Corporate office.
In 1967 I started out as a Steno, moved around the plant and held various jobs as Unit Clerk, Unit Secretary, then spent the last 18
years as a Senior Customer Service Rep. I managed and shipped millions of lbs of bulk chemicals to ports all over the world. I enjoyed every minute of my 37 years!
