Sally Hanlon

I have been drawing, making designs and creating things since I was a child.  I always liked to draw.  I have learned to do many things, sewing, needlework of all kinds (I never did learn to tat), and wood working.  I enjoy gardening which includes food preparation, presentation and decorating with fresh and dried materials.  I have  always liked to create something new and beautiful so learned a lot of different ways to use different techniques.  Like baking, it’s fun, it has to taste good and be pretty.

I have  been a member of WPAG for almost 20 years.  I have learned a lot here and made many good friends.  I am a past president and board member.  I have also served as secretary pro tem here many times.  I was for many years secretary for CONA (Council of Neighborhood Associations).  As a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary I served as secretary for Division 11.  I was secretary for the Hudson Flotilla under three commanders.  I have served as  an officer of many organizations through the years.  I know how Robert’s Rules of Order works.  I am also a full time resident so am available for board and member meetings.

Further, I have been a member of the art guild for almost 20 years. I am also a past president of the Guild. I am a full-time resident and therefore available for member and board meetings throughout the year.
