2016 proposed board of directors
With heavy hearts, we share the news that today, former OTPA President and current board member Jan Chomyn lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. This vibrant, funny, warm, insightful, and intelligent woman has been an asset to the Old Towne Orange community for years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jan's husband, Myron, and her family. We will miss you greatly, Jan.
