Greendale's Donna Ouellette's 'Spirit' Shines

The Village resident will be honored by the Greendale Chamber of Commerce with the organization's annual Spirit of Greendale award in February.

To say Donna Ouellette has “Greendale” spirit is a bit of an understatement.

She is the co-chairperson of the Village’s Public Celebrations committee, executive board member of the Greendale Entertainment Association, Director of the Greendale Entertainment Associations resale that is held twice a year and co-director of the Family Entertainment area for Village Days.

But wait, there’s more. Ouellette has served on the PTO board at Greendale Middle School and taught Sunday school at St. Alphonsus Parish and School for many years.

Those combined efforts have made Ouellette an easy choice for the Greendale Chamber of Commerce’s annual Spirit of Greendale award, which she will receive at the organization’s annual banquet Feb. 12.

Born and raised in Greendale, Ouellette attended St. Alphonsus grade school for 8 years and graduated from Greendale High School in 1980.  She is a bank manager and loan officer at Great Midwest Bank, has three sons and still enjoys living in the Village.

Ouellette credits her volunteerism to her father Ron Bonk, who was always volunteering in Greendale as she was growing up.

The Greendale Chamber of Commerce annual awards banquet is 5:30 p.m. Feb. 12, at Joey Gerard’s. The cost is $50, and reservations are required.

I can't think of a better person to win this award than Donna. I have enjoyed working with her on various projects both at Highland View when are kids were both there and throughout the community. She is definitely an asset to our village! Congrats Donna!

Ooops - I meant "our" kids, not "are" kids :-)

We can look up to see who signed a recall of their elected official because of grievances, but weRead More cannot look up who donated large wads of ca$h to the same official's campaign...Thank you GOP for turning that window of open accountability into a one-way mirror with the GOP looking out and everyone else stuck looking inward, wandering why we don't get the same vantage point. A bit hypocritical don't you think? And BTW, your GOP budget just ticked off every principal, superintendent and public school family in the state of WI today. Good luck on that second term of negative growth (-0.74).

Jason- See the IRS for list of donors to pro republican groups. They were illegally collected andRead More distributed. You signed the recall, no one made you do it. Deal with it already and stop changing the subject to interject some off the wall non comparison. ~in solidarity

I think Scott Walker's record speaks for itself in terms of state job growth and misplacedRead More priorities. "Blue fisters" didn't create Scott Walker, he's been a creature of ALEC since the early 1990s. Let's see if he decides to do a Bachmann in 2014. A lot of people who didn't vote in the recall election because they didn't understand/agree may not have voted for him in 2010. Anyone who has a 20-something college grad who can't find a job, male spouse, family member or friend in their 50s who can't find a job, was cut from needed health care benefits, etc., is bound to be looking for better leadership.
