Krista Gentry, leekris@hotmail.com – “I’m a busy mom to multiple pets and a human. I’ve lived in east Lawrence for six years. I’m interested in serving on the ELNA board because it’s a way to be involved in my immediate community that is compatible with my work schedule. Serving on a board that represents my family and neighbors is rewarding to me.”

Sacie Lambertson, sacie.lambertson@gmail.com – “Having moved from the country to East Lawrence just four and a half years ago, we are relatively new to this eclectic and interesting community.  We love the fact it has a dynamic neighborhood association, one that is truly involved in helping this good neighborhood to thrive.”

Kate Lowder, reallowd@gmail.com – “I’m a proud resident of lovely East Lawrence. I love the uniqueness and strong sense of community it provides. There truly is not any other part of Lawrence, like East Lawrence!”

Barry Shalinsky, elnaprez@yahoo.com –  “My family and I love living in our historic East Lawrence home. East Lawrence is a special place with a special vibe.  ELNA plays a critical role in making and keeping East Lawrence, East Lawrence.  I am semi-retired and have time and energy to contribute to our neighborhood.”

KT Walsh, kathleenbridgetwalsh052@gmail.com – “Howdy East Lawrence denizens, I’ve been here on Garfield St, then Rhode Island for many years. Best neighborhood in the city. I’d like to continue working on revising our ancient Neighborhood Plan & meet new residents.”
