The new PebbleCreek Singers board will assume their duties on July 1, 2023. Vice President John Husk advances to the presidency position and Dan Baker moves to the position of immediate past president. Newly elected officers are Margy Eroh, vice president; Roxie Forrest, treasurer; and Kathi Eckert, secretary. Director Jerry Drake is also a board member.
Vice President Margy Eroh hails from Minnesota where she worked for 31 years as an administrative assistant for two Catholic schools. She recently retired from St. Thomas Aquinas School in Avondale in the same position. She and her husband Bob moved to PebbleCreek in May 2021, and she joined Singers as a Soprano II in August of 2022. Margy plays the piano and sang in her high school choir, parish choir and ensemble, and also was a Cantor.
Treasurer Roxie Forrest is originally from Washington state and worked there as a paralegal for over 30 years. She and husband Gary moved to PebbleCreek in 2009 and she joined the Singers in 2022 as a Soprano II. Her love of music began in elementary school. She took piano and organ lessons and loved to play and sing. She also was a member of her church choir.
Secretary Kathi Eckert is a native of Oregon and lived in California for 40 years before she and husband Dave came to PebbleCreek in 2009. She joined the Singers in 2010 as an Alto. She taught elementary school for six years, but the majority of her career was in management and administration. Her musical background includes singing in church choirs, college choirs, small groups, and a ’70s rock ‘n’ roll band.
We welcome the new board and wish them success during their term in office.
