What do you do at the club?
I work in the Flynn Grille, the bar and help out with banquets when needed.
How did you come to work at the club?
My daughter went to first grade, and before that I was a stay at home mom, for 6 years. The first day of school when the big yellow monster came and scooped her away, I went to Turkey Hill and bought a newspaper and looked in the want ads. There was an ad for the club and since LCC was the only golf course I had never played in Lancaster County I wanted to apply here. As a kid I grew up at Media Heights Country Club, and I've been playing golf since I was 8 years old. I thought - hmmm – I know how to serve because I did banquets when I was a teenager out at the Host Resort. I came in and filled out an application and said from the get go that I could start in the fall, but come the last day of the school year, I need to leave and take the summer off because we have a place down at the beach.
How long do you stay at the beach?
I leave the last day of school and my daughter and I stay down there until the day before the first day of school. My husband, Randy, comes down on the weekends. We live in Fenwick Island, Delaware at the Treasure Beach RV Park. The camp ground there is like every camp ground I grew up at as a kid.
Do you work down there during the summer?
Yes, I work at tanning.
What previous jobs have you had?
I was a purchasing agent for an investment casting foundry for 4 years, and prior to that, I was part owner of Lemoyne Sleeper for 12 years.
