SPEAKERS:
MIKE & KAREN ROGEL, AMAC
CAROLYN PRESCHERN, HEART TO HEART QUILTERS... HONORING OUR VETERANS
Mike and Karen Rogel are California State AMAC Delegates. Mike, a California native is the son of a small business owner.
Karen is a Pennsylvania transplant, the daughter of a former police officer and an IRS Agent. Mike has a BA in Social Welfare and Karen, a BA in History and both have Master’s degrees in Educational Leadership.
Both are retired from the field of education. In retirement, both are connected with AMAC Action and serve on the Board of Seeds of Hope for Veterans, a non-profit that supports veteran homes. In addition, both volunteer at the USO in Ontario, with Mike also volunteering with Meals on Wheels in San Bernardino County.
Carolyn is a retired local business owner and community volunteer.
Carolyn was appointed to the California Textbook Review Committee as a parent reviewing science books for unequal portrayal of women. Carolyn served on the Alta Loma School Board from 1991 to 1995. She advocated for parental rights and sought curricular improvements. She was president of Chaffey Community Republican Women.
Carolyn has worked in every election except for two since 1984, first as a precinct poll worker, then as a precinct supervisor, and most recently as Field Representative overseeing six polling places on election day. In the last election cycle Carolyn was the Candidate Recruitment Manager for the San
Bernardino County Republican Central Committee. She also volunteered at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in the ballot collection and delivery for the last three elections.
Carolyn's current community service includes advisory board membership of Operation Community Cares, a non-profit organization sending care packages to military personnel overseas, and advisory board member of Leaven Kids, a non-profit after school program.
For more than 30 years Carolyn has served on the Inland Empire Prayer Breakfast Committee. She has been the moderator for 25 of those years. This event is the largest prayer breakfast in Southern
California on the National Day of Prayer. She oversees a committee of twelve local leaders to plan the annual event.
The reason for her visit to MVRC is to present our veterans each with a Quilt of Valor. She coordinates a group of ladies called Heart to Heart Quilters. They meet weekly at Community Christian Fellowship in Ontario where they use donated fabric to sew quilts and other items and give them to non-profit organizations which include Foothill Family Shelter, Santa Claus Inc Christmas Baskets, Assure Pregnancy Center babies, and Kaiser Hospital Butterfly Room patients to name a few. They also use the scrap materials to stuff pet beds and donate them to the local animal shelter.
The quilters have donated over 200 quilts a year to those in need.
