What a night. Thank you to the 30+ residents who came out to the Rome City American Legion Hall on Thursday for the second WCI Euchre Fundraiser.

The hands were close, the laughs were loud, and the room was packed with neighbors who care about this town. That is what makes these nights special, and that is what makes WCI possible.

Every dollar raised goes right back into Wolcottville, into the projects and programming that make this a town worth investing in. Thank you to everyone who played, everyone who volunteered, and everyone who keeps showing up for their community.

See you at the next one.

Meet Lisa Didier
Member at Large, Wolcottville Community Initiative

Lisa was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she and her husband John raised six children. A graduate of Indiana University, she built a career in the travel industry before becoming a full-time homemaker.

Her connection to Wolcottville goes back more than 50 years. Lisa first came here as a young person, spending summers at her parents' lake home on Witmer Lake. The lake, the pace of life, and the community left a lasting impression. In 2024, Lisa and John made it official and moved to Wolcottville full time.

Over the last few decades, Lisa has devoted her time to various non-profit boards, with a particular passion for organizations that strengthen communities. That lifetime of experience brings real perspective to WCI, from how boards operate well to what makes nonprofit work actually land in the places it's meant to serve.

Lisa is thoughtful, grounded, and brings a wealth of knowledge about what effective community organizations look like. We're glad to have her bringing that experience to our table.

We're grateful to have her on the board.
