Who We Are ...
Meet the west linn fireworks concerts & oktoberfest volunteer Team
Alice Richmond |
Alice is an energetic and long-time resident of West Linn. She was a fashion designer in New York City before she was hired by Pendleton Woolen Mills in 1959 to develop their women's wear lines ... a job she retained for 42 years. She moved to West Linn in December of 1958, raised two daughters who attended our local schools, and has since been sharing her passion for community through her acts of volunteerism. Some people travel and rest when they retire -- Alice became a tireless volunteer for our local community. The annual 4th of July celebration has had her fingerprints all over it since its inception, and without her ongoing efforts it would simply not exist for all to enjoy. Bringing joy to others through these community events is what brings a smile to Alice's heart!

Carol Koran |
Carol moved to West Linn in 1990, shortly after marriage to her husband, Bill. They have lived in the same house for the past 26 years ... right next door to Alice! Carol was born in New Mexico, raised in Colorado, and lived and worked in Texas and California before becoming an Oregonian. Carol worked as a secretary, leasing assistant, and office manager before becoming a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful (now adult) children, Roman (married to Rachael) and Olga. Family, friends, and God are the light of Carol's life; sharing happiness through volunteer efforts also brings Carol joy!
