After 5 years as membership co-ordinator  Barb has been coerced to be Vice President again.    She has had 6 years on the executive previously, as Vice President, President and then Past President, so
 she has been a good supporter of the ONC.  We members will have to do what we can to help her too.

    She and her family moved to the Orillia area in 1988, and joined the club in 1993. She found it a good way to get out and have walks with her kids. She had always enjoyed nature and learning about it, and she found that there were lots of people in the club to help her learn.

    She was born in Pickering, but married Warren in 1974, and joined him in Mission B.C. She took a course in Landscape Horticulture at a college in Burnaby, so she knew the western plants better than the Ontario plants when she moved here.

    4 years ago she took Computer Programming at Georgian, and now works as Webmaster for Loblaw Companies – requiring a drive to Toronto about 3 times a week. Her computer skills are a real asset  for us, and also for fixing the 4 computers that her children and she use at home.
    She has a very supportive husband, Warren- who does 90% of the cooking, and very good it is, as we, who have sampled it at the Pot Lucks, can attest. He enjoys experiencing nature, but not necessarily learning about it. They have 4 children, aged 20-13. Jessie and David have drawn many covers for the Ermine
