Jane
Parsons joined Sportsmen YC in 2005. In October 2008, she became our
newest PICYA Delegate. At that time, this is what I wrote: “A more
gracious or well-known lady in the local and yachting community would be
hard, if not impossible, to find. An Antioch resident for many years,
Jane retired as Antioch’s City Treasurer after 21 years of service. She
is a Past Commodore of Driftwood YC and Past President of the
Soroptimist International of Antioch. Currently, Jane is serving as
Antioch’s Chamber of Commerce Ambassador and is a committee member of
Holiday De-Lites.” A recent article in the
Contra Costa Times
honored Jane as a 2015 Citizen of the Year for Lifetime Achievement.
She is now the longest serving member of the Antioch Chamber’s
Ambassadors, supporting Chamber mixers, ribbon cuttings, and more. To
quote Diane Gibson Gray, Antioch School Trustee and Director of the Arts
and Cultural Foundation, “She is one of those rare individuals who
serves quietly and always has a smile and wonderful attitude.” |
