One of the most important responsibilities of the Club Payne Board of Directors is election of Officers. We are happy to announced the election of Ann Rose and Lara Stockwell as first time officers, and the reelection of Evan Lacke as Treasurer.
Ann Rose, assumes the Presidency that was long held by her father, David Rose. She is a granddaughter of Sally Payne Rose Turner. Ann has been coming to Lone Mountain since she was a baby, and visits at least once every year. She lives in Gary Indiana, and works in Chicago. A recent professional bio of Ann refers to Lone Mountain:
Ann E. Rose, a native of Miller Beach in Gary, Indiana and is an assistant in the Attorney Human Resources of Kirkland & Ellis Law Firm in Chicago, IL. Ann serves on the board and is Co-Chair of the Programs & Events Committee for the Miller Beach Arts & Creative District. She also serves on the Marketing Committee for Association House, resided on the board of Frump Tucker Theatre Company in Chicago and volunteers at numerous fund raisers around NW Indiana and Chicago. When Ann is not at work as an Executive Assistant at Kirkland Ellis LLP, she is making jewelry, spending time with friends, traveling or on the golf course or dreaming of her next trip to Lone Mountain.
Lara Stockwell Wilson, a granddaughter of Kathleen Payne Stockwell and daughter of John Stockwell, enthusiastically joined the Club Payne Board of Directors this spring, and has been serving as Board Moderator. Now, she is taking on the position of Secretary of Club Payne.
Lara lives in Toledo, Ohio with her husband, Rich. They have two college age children, Betsy and Zach.
While visiting Lone Mountain Easter of 2014, Lara expressed an interest in getting together occasional work parties at Lone Mountain to help keep the house well-maintained, clean, and organized. She is also eager to take a leading role in planning the 2014 Payne Family Reunion. Lara has fond memories of Lone Mountain visits during her childhood, teen and young adult years.
Evan Lacke, who has been a frequent Lone Mountain visitor since he was an infant, has served as Treasurer of Club Payne for the past three years. He established the first “official” checking account for Payne Company.
Evan is a grandson of Roger Payne, and son of Amy Potts. Evan practices law at Lacke Law Firm in Charleston, SC where he resides with his wife Sarah Ellen. They are expecting their first child next month. (It’s a girl!!)
Many thanks to Ann, Lara, and Evan!!
