Welcome Sarah as our new Program Coordinator |
|
|
|
My name is Sarah Fancher and I am proud to serve as the new Program Coordinator for Keep Lee County Beautiful. I volunteered at my first community cleanup at just 4 years old and am excited to now be part of the KLCB team. Lee County has been my home since I was 2 months old and I could not imagine living anyplace else. Protecting wildlife is my passion. I look forward to working with all of you on ensuring Lee County stays the beautiful, pristine place it is today. In my free time I love hanging out with my family and my chocolate lab Koda! |
