Q. What’s your favorite restaurant in Greendale? 
A. Ricardo's Pizza - The best pizza anywhere. We remember the "original" Ricardo's when we ate at the picnic tables in the back!


Q. What are your hopes and plans for the Education Foundation, going forward?   
A. I look forward to realizing the day when the entire village population knows the organization and the priorities of EFG and is motivated to participate. Our marketing plan will direct us in this effort. As we seek new ways to reconnect with our alumni both in the Milwaukee area and in the nation, our alums and residents can be united in supporting the grants which create opportunities for teachers, students and the district to develop their fullest potential. I hope everyone will say, "Yes, for Greendale kids."
