  • (SHE / HER)

    Sandy Wycoff enjoys spending time with family (especially her three grandkids), traveling with her husband (especially to US National Parks), and helping Circle of Hope “be” the church (preferably behind the scenes). Her favorite quote is from Catherine the Great, “Times are changing, like a great wind blowing; it gives you either imagination or a headache. “ If Sandy could choose any animal for a pet, it would be a goldfish because they are low maintenance, and it would be easy to find someone to care for it when she is traveling.

  • Quana Foxx is the oldest of her mother's children, a graduate of Northland High School and Wilberforce University. A little known fact about Quana is that she collects Barbies and records. She is proud to say that she was able to stay with her great-great-grandfather, great-grandmother and great-aunts during the summers when she was younger!

  • Andrew Alderman grew up in Elyria, Ohio, and has been in Columbus for 20 years. He is married with three wonderful children and works at Cardinal Health. He has served on the Board of Action For Children and enjoys genealogy research in his free time. If Andy could choose any pet, it would be a giraffe. They have intrigued him since he was very young due to their spots and long necks!
