Susan Reininger, YLC treasurer, has a university education in music and education. She has many hobbies: beekeeping, star gazing, cycling and canoeing, and more recently taking search and rescue lessons with her dog, Bogàr. Her volunteer experience includes teaching and working with the intellectually challenged. She is affiliated with the United Church where she plays the organ. She also directs (in her spare time) amateur choirs, singing many genres including classical and gospel music. Since 1996, Susan has been a member of YLC serving as president and treasurer and with thirty years of experience teaching in the public and private sector, she is a force with which to be reckoned. It's a pleasure to work with Susan.
