Member's Moment:
Q: How long have you lived in Athens? What makes it special to you?
A. I have lived in Athens for 10 years. I love its sense of community. Everyone here is so
friendly and helpful. I remember when my husband and I moved into our home, all of our
neighbors came over to welcome us with friendly gestures and tasty treats. ƒose small
gestures mean a lot.
Q: As the incoming chair of the Chamber of Commerce, what are the top two things on your
"to do" list?
A. • Work with the board to complete the building project of the new Chamber offices by
soliciting businesses to partner with us and donate to this endeavor
• Expand our current events while continuing to work toward workforce development in
Limestone County to ensure that as we grow, our community is ready to take on the jobs
that will become available
Q: You have an unusual first name – is there a special story around it?
A. My father named me. He prayed that he would have a daughter. One day at Bible study, one
of his friends asked him if he had a girl, what would he name her. He said he looked down
and saw Bunni in Nehemiah. ƒat is not how it is pronounced, but he said that is what
came to mind when he saw it.
Q: What was the last book you read?
A. I am currently reading "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes. It's
about her deciding to step outside of her comfort zone and
take on new challenges. I am enjoying this book as I, too,
am at this same stage of my life. My decision to take on the
position of Chamber chair is one of those "yes" moments.
