On June 30, the Board of Directors of the Hilton Alumni Association voted to install Joey Dean Danzig, Class of 1995, and Jena Jollie, Class of 2004, to the Board.
Danzig is the owner of Illuminating Expressions, and former member of
Vepto and other school organizations and committees. Both of her adult children graduated from Hilton. She brings energy, entrepreneurial and fundraising experience as well as a passion for the students at Hilton.
Jollie is a bus driver for the district with small children and will bring the perspective of an employee and parent. Currently, she is a member of the Parma Public Library Board as well. Her skills include experience with social media, graphic design, photography, marketing and fundraising.
Current Board members are: Nancy Leport, 1970; Kim Perry, 1969 (Rush Henrietta); Erik Edelman, 2009; Kara Engle, 2010; Rick Francis, 1970; Joey Danzig, 1995; Jena Jollie, 2004; Norman Kennard, 1970. At Large members are Ed Mascadri, 1996; Kristen Paolini, 1998 (Greece Athena); Josh Jenson, 2006.
The Association Board is still looking for one more person to complete its roster of nine and help carry out its mission of connecting alumni, educators and the community for the benefit of today’s students. One does not have to be an alumnus of Hilton Central nor live in the area. Meetings are conducted on Zoom and people who live out of state or out of Rochester serve on the Board. The group is an active, working board looking for members who are ready to roll their sleeves up and move the Association forward. The annual report is available upon request.
Anyone with a passion for the students of Hilton, a gift for organization, record keeping and leadership, and who wants to serve, is asked to email hiltonalumniassociation@gmail.com.
