Meet our newest member of the Parks and Rec Team : Alayna Wagner - Folsom Ranch Resident

My name is Alayna Wagner, and I have lived in Folsom, California in the Folsom Ranch area for 3 years. My husband, Nathan, and children, Matthias (7) and Robin (5), and I have enjoyed exploring all that our adopted hometown has to offer since then. I’ve always enjoyed civics and government and when the opportunity arose to apply for the recent vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Commission, it was a nobrainer for me to apply. The support - from those I know and those I hope to come to know - since then has been very much appreciated, and I hope to effectively advocate for both Folsom Ranch and the broader Folsom community for the next 18 months as a commissioner. Please feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or in person any time so I can be sure to bring what is important to YOU to the attention of the Folsom Parks and Recreation Department!
