The Chamber Salutes Board Member Alicia Macke

4/17/2017

The Elwood Chamber welcomed four new members to its board of directors this year. One of the members is Alicia Macke (formerly Hoose), an employee of Red Gold, an Elwood native, and a new bride. As a former Elwood entrepreneur, Alicia brings a perspective to the Chamber board that is as fresh as it is experienced. As her two-year term gets under way, we are eager to learn more about her and her ideas. A recent Q&A interview with Alicia provides a preview.

Alicia poses with her children Ashlyn and Preston at last year's Run to Crush Hunger.

Q: Please tell us a bit about yourself.
A: I was born and raised in Elwood but moved to Frankton approximately two years ago. I graduated from Elwood High School and Indiana Business College, now known as Harrison College. I have two children, Preston and Ashlyn Hoose. I recently expanded my family and added two more kids - Jake and Anna Macke - when Jerry and I married March 11.

The Elwood Chamber Board welcomed four new members this past December. One of them, Linda Moore, is an Elwood Panther to her core and purrfectly content never to stray far from home. And she hasn’t. Growing up in a house on South 14th Street, she graduated from Elwood High in 1974 (the first class to graduate from what was then the “new” school), and in 1978, married Dan Moore, who grew up in the house around the corner on the very same block on South E Street.

Today, after 38 years of marriage, Linda and Dan live in his old house – along with their two dogs, Lillie and Gracie. For Linda, the old adage, “There’s No Place Like Home,” couldn’t be more true.
