Want to see the (pretty) face behind the machine? Kristie Stafford is a power house. Moving here in 1994 with her husband, they had Danny Gwyn and Jeff Smith build their home after looking at over 100 pieces of land in the outlaying areas. With a "good deal" on the land and a beautiful view of the Gorge, Kristie feels content. Raising two daughters here, Kristie feels a strong sense of community and loves giving back. Daughter Makenna is 12, and Morgan is 7. Both girls are very active in sports and their mom is a strong advocate for the many benefits of having a vibrant sports program for all kids in Corbett. This fall alone, almost 200 kids grades 3-12 participated in a sport. Because of school cuts, the Booster Club supports a vast portion of the funding needing to pull off the programs that they do. Kristie looks for no credit, but continuously works to get parents involved in both Corbett Youth Sports and the Boosters on many and all levels. There is coaching, organizing, fundraising, concessions and several other opportunities to get involved. The largest fundraiser of the year is coming up on March 12th and tickets are $35 each for the dinner/auction being held in the HS gym. In the last five years, this event has generated as much as $40K for the night and this year the goal is $50K with more tables and donations of trips and items of value donated than ever before. The theme is Italian, and will be catered by hometown experts, Chris Spanjer and Becky Clayton. This is NOT a night to miss!
