8 9 10 What do you do on a typical day? A typical day starts with reading emails, texts and answering the ones I can. I make calls to friends and meet them for lunch. I also take a little time to think of new ways I can help Heidi’s Village, creating new programs, refining policies and procedures or other ways to help the community. I sometimes drop by Heidi’s Village and give a tour to see what is happening. I have a wonderful, competent staff and enjoy visiting with various employees to see what is going on in their area, just chatting about them and their families David and I love to play golf, so we try to play 9 or 18 holes each week. If not, we enjoy the weather and practice in order to play a better game. No two days are alike, and each day is rich because of Heidi’s Village, friends and family! What is the best advice you’ve ever received? No matter where you come from, you can be who you want to be with a dream, hard work, persistence and focus on achieving your goals and showing kindness along the way. A smile and a positive attitude are everything in my world. What would readers be surprised to learn about you? I am a very creative person. I love creating useful and unique things from what is around me. This is the spirit that created Heidi’s Village. It was an idea in my head that I had to put onto paper and then make come alive with a brick-and-mortar building. I still want to create new programs to help the community. It is a joy that never ends with me! To learn more, go to heidisvillage.org . 10 QUESTIONS { fascinating people } | 6 | FURRY FRIENDS 2022
