People Making a Difference
In 1996, a small group of community members consisting of Robert Duncan, Ron Marshall, Elta Bertolino Ayre, Donna Tandy, Lyle Wright and MarCo LaRowe saw the need to form an organization to benefit the future of Roberts. The result was the formation of the Roberts Community Foundation.Current board members are President Alan Schuyler, Vice President Gordy Hill, Co-Treasurer Kelley Guasp, Co-Treasurer Patti Prinkki Keebler, Secretary Misty Pitts, Paula Marshall Pederson, JR Swansborough, Andrew Dimich and Janice Polzin. Many other citizens have served on this board throughout its history and deserve credit for keeping the spirit of “a place to come home to” alive today.
