As most of you know, I am currently in Australia! In addition to watching the Australian Open, I am: making lifelong friends with some of my favorite animals at the Healesville Sanctuary, the Taronga Zoo, and the Melbourne Zoo; learning about two inspiring Australian artists at the Baldessin/Whiteley: Parallel Visions exhibit at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia; discovering some insights about Australia’s early prisons and judicial system at the Old Melbourne Gaol; and taking a scenic ferry across the Port Phillip Bay to visit the historic Nelson Place, Melbourne’s first seaport.
Meanwhile, I truly appreciate that my team is holding down the fort for me in my absence!
On January 8, Sherry attended the MAMA Seattle presentation by Alyssa Jarman on financial planning. Sherry looks forward to continuing her service on the MAMA Seattle board for another year.
