Brian and his wife Anne have lived on the Island for thirty years. They raised three active boys, who are all launched on their lives. Brian and Anne were active in a variety of Island activities, mostly centered around their children’s activities. Brian is in his 3rd year on OCFA’s board.

This is my third year on the board, and it has been a fabulous experience for me. When I came out of the fog of having three small children and was looking for an organization which to commit time and energy, I didn’t know where to go. One Call was, and is, the answer. As a family of five with children ages, 14, 11, and 9, we have been involved with numerous agencies which receive funds through OCFA. I realized that the organizations that are the OCFA partner agencies represent the finest aspirations of a community full of people who want, and our willing to, work for the betterment of our community. I feel lucky and honored to serve on the board of One Call for All.

This is Ki’s first year on the board. She was born and raised in Saskatchewan, has been a 30 year resident of Bainbridge in which time she has raised two children on the island, both of whom attended our public schools. Ki was a ferry commuter for 25 years, working in Seattle as a paralegal and an executive assistant. She is now retired. Ki’s interests include reading, gardening, quilting, cycling and traveling.

In the hot seat at ONE CALL since 2007, Bob derives great pleasure from raising money for so many groups. He has been on Island since the mid-80’s and comes from a business background of real estate investing, non-profit work, and professional workshop design, production and delivery. He has served on over 5 non-profit boards on Bainbridge and is a Past President of the local Rotary Club. Riding his BMW motorcycle, reading, hiking/walking, and creating and participating in local Master Mind groups eats up a lot of his off-work time. He has two grown children and two almost-step children.

Donna joined the OCFA board marketing committee in 2010. She remembers her mom packing up the family and heading to the island to pick strawberries and now enjoys berries from her own backyard garden on the site of a former strawberry farm just outside Winslow. Donna joined the Helpline House staff in 1998 and is honored to witness the many ways OCFA donors contribute to a wide variety of local services and community enrichment agencies both large and small. Past volunteer efforts include Housing Resources Board, Community Housing Coalition, Seabold Second Saturday and in the classrooms of her three now grown sons. She enjoys home and garden projects, road trips and watching Chicken TV, which runs in continuous syndication in the backyard coop.

Tom joined the OCFA board in the fall of 2010. Spending the first 25 years of his business career in the wealth management arena, Tom changed course and leapt in to the non-profit world. After working in development for several Seattle area non-profits Tom joined the Pike Place Market Foundation as the Director of Major Gifts. Tom and his wife Katie have lived on Bainbridge Island since 1994 and have 2 daughters, Cora and Hayley – both BHS grads. they enjoy hiking, kayaking, gardening and cheering for the Seattle Sounders.

Bruce and his partner Dawn moved to Bainbridge in April, 2008 from Santa Fe, NM after getting bored with the beautiful blue skies and constant sunshine. With degrees in Math and Computer Science he spent 30+ years working in high tech management and is now “mostly” retired but trades the stock market for fun and profit (at times). Since moving to Bainbridge, Bruce has become increasingly active in volunteer efforts, particularly those relating to the environment and sustainability. When not trading stocks or volunteering you’ll find him walking the streets of Winslow with Jack (the wonder dog), hanging at the coffee shop, working out at the gym, hiking, reading, traveling to near-by and distant lands, or working in the garden.

Amy Curran (Johnsen) is a native, fourth generation Islander, who moved back to Bainbridge 15 years ago after living abroad in Japan and Montreal. She and her husband, Brendan, have enjoyed raising their family of four children, Melanie, Kevin, Dylan and Audrey, in the same community where she was raised. Beyond Amy’s role as a mother and wife, she has found time and great satisfaction in contributing her expertise as a community organizer and leader for various projects and non-profits on Bainbridge. These include her role as co-founder in creating the KidsUp! playground; spearheading park district projects; serving on the board of the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation; actively participating in various school PTO boards, supporting club sports, and chairing St. Cecilia Church’s annual auction to raise funds for the building of the Faith Center. Serving on the OCFA board has brought Amy’s volunteer involvement on Bainbridge full circle, and has created an opportunity to give back to her community!

While not an Island native, a Midwesterner by birth, I do feel like an Island old timer. Moved here in 1987 looking for an alternative to the Seattle area school systems. Practiced engineering for a year or so. Never could get it right. Owned and operated a number of businesses, a restaurant in Colorado, and an import company and small retail store chain in the Seattle area. Did some undergraduate and graduate teaching at UW and UPS. Raised two great kids on the Island. Happily married to the sweetest nurse at the VM clinic. Have two inspirational grandkids. Favorite non-color is black, favorite vocal artists are Mark Knopfler and Hope Sandoval, favorite cuisine is Greek, and favorite joke is: did you hear the one about the Buddist who walks up to the hot dog vendor and asks “can you make me one with everything?”. Likes are problem solving, volleyball and hands-on physical labor.

Eric has spent his entire career working (and also volunteering) in the nonprofit sector. He ran nonprofit organizations in the Minneapolis area for 25 years, later spent six years consulting with nonprofits, and currently is the Development Director for the Bloedel Reserve on the Bainbridge Island. Because he worked closely with United Ways in various capacities, he was drawn to One Call for All’s efforts to raise funds for all Bainbridge nonprofits. Eric and his wife Caroline bought property on the island in 2000, built a house and moved here in 2006. They have put a portion of the property into a Conservation Easement with the Bainbridge Island Land Trust and have developed extensive gardens around their home. For fun, Eric likes to garden, hike, backpack, bicycle, kayak, visit with friends, and spend time with his grandson. Caroline is a hospice nurse.
