Shelley Patton

Shelley, a native southern Californian, moved to the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Gregg five years ago. The transplant was a success! She loves it 'up' here! She is retired and dodges the 'there's nothing to do' bullet daily with copious yard work and discovery on the beautiful property upon which she and Gregg settled.

When you acquire a place that had been the 'canvas' of a master gardener, well, you'd better get your hands dirty and keep up! She loves exploring the Olympic Peninsula with all of its hiking opportunities. Golf is fun until she's actually playing and then it's mostly just a really stupid game! Shelley is 'Mom' to four grown children and 'Grandma' to six lovely, dynamic girls. In her previous life she worked in Special Education as a paraprofessional aide working with children in grades kindergarten through fifth grades. She now volunteers in the kindergarten classrooms at Chimacum Primary School weekly. She loves getting to work with the little ones as they learn to read and gain confidence in their learning capabilities.                                                                                                                 Which brings us to Shelley's happy PLPA existence. She has moved from Education Outreach coordinator to Co-Chair of Booking with her husband Gregg. Still a bit starstruck, she says the opportunity to bring highly talented and entertaining musical performers to Port Ludlow is very satisfying. She is grateful to be a part of this fantastic, enthusiastic PLPA board and to all of you for your continued and generous support!
