Introducing Committee Member Jean Keener

We are pleased to introduce the members of the GKWC Garden of Roses 2016 Roses & Pearls Champagne Brunch & Auction Event Planning Committee. Through a series of  questions and answers, you’ll meet Club members who may have served on the committee in the past, as well as new members who are assuming roles for the first time.

Say hello to Jean Keener, the 2016 Garden of Roses Silent Auction Monitors Committee Chair.

• How long have you been a member of GKWC? 7 years
• How did you hear about GKWC and what prompted you to join?  I heard about GKWC from Patty Recca when I was attending a Keller Chamber of Commerce event.  I joined because everyone was so friendly when I went to my first meeting, and I wanted to make more friends and do volunteer work in the community.
• Is this the first time you've volunteered for the Garden of Roses fundraising committee?  No
• If not, list other volunteer roles have you held with prior Garden of Roses fashion shows/fundraisers?  I’ve been the silent auction co-chair,  sponsor gifts, food/beverage coordinator, raffle ticket sales, and on the sponsorship committee.
• What are you most looking forward to with the 2016 fundraiser and your role?  I’m looking forward to reconnecting with other club members and raising some money for local charities.

The next time you see Jean, please join us in thanking her for her many years of service and continuing to volunteer her time and talents to GKWC and the community.
