Meet Marcie

Don't you sometimes wonder about our council members? Who they really are and what makes them tick? Well, I have subjected them to a list of silly, offhand questions and low and behold - I have answers. Today, Marcie Palmer is under the Picaroon scrutiny. Shall we meet the lesser known side of Marcie?

I LOVE people and it gives me an excuse to talk with everyone to find out more about them, and often, help them.
