In addition, she likes to travel and has traveled a great deal, USA, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Spain, Vietnam and Morocco. She is very curious and eager to discover new things. Her family has always had cats. She is not as familiar with dogs, but is willing to get used to them. Her goal this year is to be immersed in a new culture with people who don’t necessarily think like her and learn from them and to share her Belgium culture with them. As for her parents, Zoe’s mother works as a Federal Ombudsman for the Belgium Parliament. Her father is a criminologist in charge of helping prisoners who are released find jobs and then he follows up on them in their work. Zoe will be attending Stow-Munroe Falls High School.

I want to thank all that participated in our Strategic Plan “Open Table” meeting this past Tuesday with our facilitator, Carol Marturano-Becker. It was great to see us all at work moving forward with our new strategic initiatives. Carol did an outstanding job leading us through this project over the past several months. I look forward to reviewing the outcome of your ideas at next week’s lunch, along with handing out Foundation monies to some awesome programs in the area for their work that keeps improving our great city.
Sorry we didn't know ...
