Treasurer and Media Manager (title as originally published)
Marilyn spent 43 years in Information Technology, working for various public and investor-owned utility companies in California and Washington. She retired from Grant County Public Utility District in 2011. After retirement, she and her husband, Gary, designed their retirement home, and moved to Sequim in April 2012. They share their home with “the kids”: Itty Bitty (a shorthair calico mackerel tabby who “adopted us”), Peekaboo, a/k/a “Boo”, (a medium hair calico adopted from Spay to Save) and Cinnamon (the “queen bee” longhair tortie who came home from PFOA).
She has volunteered at PFOA since June, 2012. She began with socializing the kitties, then moved into media, photography and graphic design work. She was elected to the Board of Directors in 2013, and served as Board Secretary from 2015-2017. She is currently the PFOA Media Manager and Board Treasurer. In addition to her Treasurer responsibilities, she maintains the websites, designed a new website in 2018, designs flyers and posters, designs special media for fundraising events, is editor of and writes for our quarterly newsletter (Pet Tidings), and prepares weekly and monthly advertising for local newspapers.
Her favorite activities include swimming, gardening, reading, playing with the kitties, Downton Abbey, and NFL football (GO HAWKS!)
