Donna has supported and continues to support all the wonderful activities that the Athol Recreation Committee provides. Her vast knowledge and experience in childhood education allowed her to lead 2 successfully attended and enjoyed Athol “Bring Back Play” days, along with assisting in the child oriented aspects of many of our past events.
