    Cheryl Rhoads, Customer Care Specialist
    After moving to Lake County in 2014, Cheryl realized she missed the interaction with her patients of 48 years.  Retirement wasn’t enough for her! She met Janet Noack 6 months later and she encouraged her to volunteer at the Chamber of Commerce.  That was 2015 and it has been her pleasure to work with J. Scott, the Chamber members and to be a Customer Care Specialist for all visitors to the Chamber of Commerce. The rest of her days are spent enjoying fishing with her husband and spending time with her 8 grandchildren.

     

    Joe Gillespie, 
    Customer Care Specialist
    Joe and his wife Cathy and have lived in Mount Dora for 22 years, moving from Orlando.  When looking for some Volunteer opportunities he was told the Chamber needed someone and voila!  It has been at least ten years and Joe enjoys coming in each Tuesday and doing what he can to be of help.  He is amazed at the questions visitors have and looks forward to when visitors visit our area again.  Joe also enjoys volunteering at the Mount Dora Library.  Just recently he and his wife moved into Waterman Village and are getting use to a new lifestyle.
