While in Bend, she plays golf at Awbrey Glen Golf Club and is an active member in Awbrey’s women’s golf association. Susan also sits on MountainStar’s Advisory Board. The Advisory Board provides much appreciated advice and guidance to the staff of MountainStar and its Board of Directors, as well as supports MountainStar’s major fundraising event, the annual Children’s Expedition Luncheon.
