Our next board member spotlight is Colleen Zerebny!

Colleen Zerebny joined the board in July, as a weekly volunteer for Care Receivers and a member of the Fund Development Committee. She grew up in Sycamore and is an alumni of North Central College in Naperville (Her mother Sandy Stark is Normal High School Class of '71 in case you know her!). Colleen has been a resident of Bloomington since 2013 and a full-time Realtor with REMAX Rising since 2018. Colleen is a member of St Luke Union Church, as a bell choir player and liturgist. Her corgi Izzy and husband Thomas are her greatest joy (in that order!). The Zerebnys live between Founders and Dimmitt's Grove (starting a neighborhood association for this area!) and can often be found traveling to US beaches, fishing at Miller Park and northern Wisconsin, or canoeing at local lakes. Colleen also loves watching new movies and TV, reading nonfiction & memoirs, and working on home projects and rental properties when she's not helping clients buy or sell their homes.
