for the Winyah Group of the South Carolina Chapter of the Sierra Club. Treasurer

organization of five District 5 communities that successfully halted a landfill
planned in their midst. Served on the Negotiating Committee for the Solid Waste
Authority. Graduate: Harbargers Business College, Raleigh, North Carolina.
Her platform: "I believe that development has a profound impact on the
quality of life, as well as the quality of life for our future generations.
I strongly feel that our citizens should play the most important role in
deciding their future and being heard in these matters. The serious
situation we find ourselves in today has been caused by poor rules and
regulations that do not work and are not enforced or fairly distributed.
I hope to work for growth that is sustainable and pays for itself so that no new
taxes are needed."

County. . . . I would consider it an honor to serve the people of District 10."
