Welcome to our newest board member, Lynn Towns
Written by:
The Applegater board gives a warm welcome and a smiling greeting to our newest member, Lynn Towns.
Lynn has lived on Hogan Road in the Applegate for 30 years, coming here after birth in Georgia, childhood in Ohio, college in Alabama, and teaching in California.
Lynn taught fourth grade in Burlingame, California, and comes to us with a background of working with people and in the community. She joins the board with a deep understanding of nonprofit organizations and the importance of volunteers. Since moving to the Applegate, she has done volunteer work with SMART (Start Making a Reader Today), Britt Festival, Friends of the Applegate Library, and Habitat for Humanity, notably in the capacity of interviewing potential recipients of housing.
We are especially glad to have Lynn join us on the board for two skills she said she could bring: paying attention and asking questions.
Lynn is pleased to be joining the board. “It’s a fertile time to get into community,” she says, recognizing that, among other things, “the Applegater serves as a vehicle to inform and celebrate the people and happenings in the valley. I’m tickled to be a part of the team putting the word out.”
