The Seven Oaks Senior Center Council

 Penny Brown
Penny is the head of our board and our fearless President! You’ll often spot her bouncing between activities, always ready with a warm smile and an encouraging word. As our beloved Center Librarian, she keeps our shelves (and minds!) full of great stories, and she also leads our Caring Across the Community Group, spreading kindness wherever she goes. If something fun is happening, chances are, Penny is right in the middle of it! 

 Gina Wheeler
Our go-getter Vice President, Gina is always ready to take charge and keep the center moving in the right direction! Whether she’s breaking a sweat in a fitness class, keeping an eye on the fitness center, creating dazzling diamond art, planning our annual Holiday Party, or jumping in wherever help is needed, Gina does it all with enthusiasm and a smile. If there’s work to be done or fun to be had, you can bet Gina is right in the mix! 

Gail Smith 

Gail is our warm and welcoming 1st Assistant Treasurer, always lending a hand to Rob with the financials that keep our council running smoothly. We honestly couldn’t do it without her (especially those of us who are a little numerically inclined). Gail is also a familiar face at our weekly Friday Café, so be sure to stop by and say hello – she’s always ready with a smile and a friendly chat!

Dale Mullineaux

 Dale is our cheerful 2nd Assistant Treasurer, always ready to crack a joke and bring some laughter to the table! When he’s not keeping the board on track, you can find him having a good time playing Table Tennis or Pinochle. Dale’s energy and sense of humor are a big part of what makes our board so special! 

Peg Myers

 Peg is our diligent Corresponding Secretary, the thoughtful person behind every “get well soon” and “happy birthday” card you’ve received from Seven Oaks! She puts her heart and soul into making sure our members feel appreciated and supported. When she’s not spreading kindness through the board, you can find Peg volunteering at the front desk, monitoring the fitness center, or immersed in one of her creative craft projects! 

Ed Konig

 Ed is our steadfast Sergeant at Arms, always making sure peace and order prevail during our discussions! But his talents don’t stop there – Ed is also an amazing cook and a dedicated volunteer. He’s the one behind our delicious breakfasts for Flag Day, Veteran’s Day, and Valentine’s Day, as well as the membership council lunch every other month. When he’s not cooking up a storm, Ed enjoys hosting soap carving classes and diving into his love for woodworking and stained glass. 

Wayne Knowles

 Wayne joined our board as a Member at Large in December 2024 and has quickly become an essential voice, bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to the table. Not only does he contribute his valuable insights, but Wayne also knows how to bring the flavor – he’s the mastermind behind our beloved annual Shrimp Feast! 

Jim Lightner

 Jim may have once been our council president, but he continues to share his wealth of experience and wisdom with our board, offering valuable insight and guidance to our current president. You can often find Jim at the center leading his thought-provoking monthly TED Talk Discussions or volunteering on the Commission of Aging Board. His friendly smile and welcoming demeanor make him a favorite among both new and returning members.
