| We had
contacted all the council members and asked them to submit information for
the page. No response was received, which is par for the course. So, we just decided to post a few comments regarding our observations and their contact information. If they deem this citizen based project worthy enough to actually contribute to, we will post what they provide. |

"I am a fulltime home schooling mom and retired Navy wife. I am originally from the Evansville, IN. I have a degree in Marketing from Indiana State University. After marrying my wonderful husband Chris, we lived all over the country but now consider Oregon home. I think Lafayette is a wonderful town with a lot of potential and great people.
