Through the years, she has been feeding this passion by being a cooking instructor, food writer, caterer, restaurateur and host/producer of NLCTV’s “In the American Kitchen.” Since relocating for “retirement”, Sally was appointed as Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity of LaSalle, Bureau & Putnam Counties. She is now feeding her community involvement passions by increasing the footprint of Habitat in our three-county area. One of her main goals as Executive Director is the planning and direction of the 15th home build project.
