Well before her delicious baked goods were available at local Main Street eateries, Board Member Marion Ferrer has been baking professionally all over the world. She brings her years of expertise in the kitchen, both baking and teaching, to the Board of the Dryden Center for Community. As our kitchen coordinator, Marion is helping to establish procedures for the rental of our certified commercial kitchen, organizing required training and preparing programs for young and old.

Many of you know Cindy from her years of dedication to managing the Dryden Community Center Café, or her design work for the History Center of Tompkins County. You may have had the opportunity to work under her as a tutor at TC3. However you’ve connected with Cindy in the past, at the Dryden Center for Community, we’re honored to have Cindy on our Board of Trustees and to recognize her in this month’s Member Spotlight. Cindy brings her considerable graphic design talent and expertise to the project, designing logos, posters, and a variety of publicity formats. She imagined and executed our Steeple Social and Open Doors Day and has supported the Center from its beginning.
