As a Napa, CA resident for almost 20 years, I can tell you this Wine Country Region of Northern CA is amazing. It's a slow, country environment where you might have a hamburger next to the biggest winery owner and never know it. People here are deep and down-to-earth. Nobody is pretentious or fancy. Events are often Wine Country Casual - that means comfortable yet chic'.

As the organizer of many big shin-digs, it is amazing how giving, serving and kind the Napa Crowd is. Just finished chair of the Napa Sunrise Rotary 4th of July Parade for the 3rd year in a row - what an honor to serve the city as the chair. Next up in October is the 24th Annual Chocolate & Wine Event that will benefit Napa Foster Kids. This event draws about 500 Napans for a fun day of sampling products from 30 wineries and 25 chocolatiers - what a day.

Outside of all the organization/philanthropic duties, Hubby and I have had over 100 teen foster boys living in our home - working night and day to teach them about life and all things 'EDUCATION'.

For the past 15 years have been teaching parenting classes for the Napa Valley College in their Foster & Kincare Education Program (FKCE) that is operated under the direction of the California Chancellor's Office.

Spare time has me enjoying Aussie/Border Collie Mix named Dotty along with 4 kids and 6 grandkids. Hubby and I love to entertain, host dinners and parties and play card games at our home.

Like I said, Napa is the place to live and the community to serve - it is the crowning era of a vibrant life!
