We have welcomed several new members in the past few months! Please be sure to greet them and help them get acquainted with the club. You can use the brief information below to start a conversation and learn the rest of their stories...

Doran served as an accountant with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He and his family moved from Lakewood to Parker in 2019.
