February 2017 LIFE IN OUR FOOTHILLS
Michelle: I want to find new segments of the community to welcome into TFAC. I’d love to see different ages and groups of people who in the past may have never come through the front door. Robyn: Mine are the volunteers! I really want to retain our volunteers, by helping them enjoy their time here. I mean we are a nonprofit, and we depend upon volunteers. Me: And you, Diane? Diane: Let’s just say, I try not to worry…okay? But here’s some-
thing for you: I worry about the copier not working! Robyn: Selling tickets and filling the seats is probably our primary goal. (Well, I came up dry on the men vs. women thing) Me: Well, ladies, our time is up. I’ve run out of recording tape. I want to thank all of you for this most exciting interview. It has been a pleasure!
