Nancy Hanby-Administrative Assistant![]() email: umc@mchsi.com
I have been in this position since 2004. I love the interaction with all of the people and helping those that I can. I'm considered kind of a mini-minister since I'm on the front lines and the first person most people see. It's like working with one big family and we are all trying to help each other be better children of God. Family: I have two grown daughters and five grandchildren whom I all love and adore. I am blessed to still have my father, two brothers and one sister. I am widowed. Interests and Hobbies: I enjoy swimming, boating, motorcycle riding, dancing, old time rock and roll and country western music. I keep busy with family, friends, church, Iowa PAUMCS (Professional Association of United Methodist Church Secretaries), volunteering for IRRMA (Iowa Rock and Roll Music Association), Rock the Roof dances in the summer at Arnolds Park, the WA TAN YE organization and Relay for Life. |

I am enjoying learning a new skill (computer bookkeeping) and the challenge of trying to make the financial information more useful to the church committees (an ongoing process). Family: Husband: Keith (physician at Avera Medical Group-Estherville) Son: Connor (participant at Echo Plus and shreds paper for community businesses) Daughter: Gretchen (biology at Simpson College) Interests and Hobbies: My family is involved with Emmet County Special Olympics as volunteers, coaches and participants. I also like to read, sew and take photos when time permits. |
