Joe was added to the board as Secretary in 2018, and has been a big supporter of Hannah's Hope since the beginning. Joe resides in Valparaiso with his wife, Tracy, daughter, Brooklyne, and retired K9, Femmy. Joe is also a Patrol Sergeant for the Valparaiso Police Department, and near completing his Bachelor Degree (General Studies) at Southern New Hampshire University within a concentration of Police Operation and Administration. Hannah's Hope has always been special to Joe, as he has known Mike and Mary for nearly 30 years, and considers them and their family an extension of his own. Being a part of the work that has been completed by Hannah's Hope has been an honor, and Joe is excited about the possibilities that are in the future.
Joe enjoys golfing, and spending time with his friends and family in his down time, and looks forward to seeing everyone at future Hannah's Hope events. Joe has been the Event Coordinator for the upcoming Shamrock Shootout and Family Fun Bowl since it was created. The event, which is March 18th this year, combines a no-tap bowling tournament beginning at 10:00 a.m., followed by the family fun at 2:00 p.m. Registration for each event begins an hour prior to the start time, and is being held at Inman’s Bowling and Recreation Center in Valparaiso.
The tournament has been a high scoring bowling event, with multiple chances to cash, including side games, strike shots, and bracket challenges. The family fun includes 3 games of bowling, rental shoes if needed, and a fun atmosphere for all ages and experience. If you are interested in attending, please register early as the tournament will fill up. Sponsorship opportunities are available, with registration and sponsorship information listed at Hannahshope.org. Come enjoy the day, and help Hannah help others.
