What's one small change that an individual or family can make to contribute to the local economy's growth?
By purchasing goods or services from local businesses, even a small adjustment can have a positive impact on the growth of the local economy. Such a decision can support not only the local businesses but also the individuals and families within the community.
What's your go-to recommendation for a fun, affordable activity or event in the local area that also supports the local economy?
Attending the First Friday Art Walks in the Noto district is my favorite budget-friendly family activity. This event offers free entertainment, live music, and an opportunity to patronize local shops if you plan on shopping.
How does your role contribute to the organization's efforts to improve the local economy?
As the Membership Sales Manager, I play a crucial role in contributing to the organization’s efforts by establishing long-lasting connections with new members. By doing so, I facilitate their growth and enable them to network with other individuals within our community. This not only benefits the members but also helps the organization in building a strong and supportive network.

Callie's love for Gage Park led her to become an Assistant Manager for Shawnee County Parks + Recreation at Gage Park where she even drove the Mini-Train. Her enthusiasm for the park was infectious, and she took great pride in helping visitors have a memorable experience. As a Mini-Train driver, she enjoyed giving tours to children and families, pointing out different landmarks and sharing fun facts about the park.
