Nan Jarvis - Evergreen, CO
I met Dave Talbot several years ago when he came to speak to our Mountain Foothills Rotary Club on Lookout Mountain, Colorado. Our club was so impressed with his non-profit Crutches4Africa that we recruited Dave to join our club and adopted c4a as our international project. A very practical person myself, I loved the idea of keeping no longer needed mobility devices out of landfills and shipping them to where they are so desperately needed. I grew up in NW Ohio, graduated from Ohio University, and taught middle school, high school, and junior college language arts, composition, journalism, and great books. I have been married more than 50 years to the same man, have one daughter, four grandchildren. I proudly now serve on the Board of C4A.
