Classification Talk Stacy Speer

Erin Cass introduces Stacy Speer for her classification talk

Stacy grew up in the small town of Joshua, Texas on a 40 acre spread with her sister, who is 6 years older, and her parents.  There were very few girls her age and her sister was older so Stacy played with boys or by herself.   She was (is?) a self professed tomboy who played tackle football, even when she was a team of one.  Church and school were big parts of her life in Joshua.   Her church was like a family and she feels the same way about her new Rotary club family.

In 1992, when she was going into 7th grade, Stacy's family moved to Washington.  It was an eye opener for her to be in a larger school with people who had different cultural experiences.  She sat alone at lunch everyday for year!

Of course, she did make friends but she never loved this part of Washington.  (Stacy did not disclose the name of the town but it certainly sounded like it was on the western side of Washington State.)

In 2003 she moved to Wenatchee to attend WVC and study nursing.  She was enormously supported by WVC teachers and was an honor student.  She had married and with only 19 weeks left in her nursing program her daughter was born.   Stacy chose to leave the nursing program to spend more time with her daughter.

Stacy loves volunteering with the elderly and attributes this to her wonderful grandmother.  She volunteers at Colonial Vista where we can be sure she is a great favorite.   Stacy currently works for Express Employment Professionals in sales.

Stacy plans to spend 12 years in Wenatchee then head back to Texas to find a cowboy!
