Jill
Hi,
I’m Tricia, the Program Manager here
at Dickinson Hall. I live in Grayslake
with my husband Jim. I have three
grown sons and three grandchildren!
I started working at Dickinson Hall in
2008 as the part-time Program
Assistant. In 2011, I moved to a full-
time position in the Parks & Forestry
Department for the City of Lake
Forest. I returned to Dickinson Hall in
2015 to my current position. I love
working here and have a passion for
making this a great place to hang out!
We have some great parties, lectures
and trips lined up in the coming
months. However, I would like to
highlight a few new programs that I
am excited to see grow this summer.
Dickinson Hall’s fitness program has
been totally revamped and
specifically developed for seniors.
Feel free to drop in to give a class a
try. Your first class is always free!
We’re also launching a new lecture
series called The Great Courses; this
is a video lecture series with a
discussion to follow (see page 5 for
more information). Whatever it is
you’re looking for, summer at
Dickinson Hall offers something for
everyone, be it a social event to
make new friends or a lecture to
broaden your horizons. I look forward
to seeing you around and finding
your place at Dickinson Hall. My door
is always open and I’m always
interested in your feedback on any of
our programs.
Tricia
