We miss our beloved Board member, Lynne Doll (1961-2010). Lynne was with DAISY from its inception and has been a close friend of the Barnes Family for many years before the Foundation was started. President of the Los Angeles-based public relations agency The Rogers Group, Lynne brought passion for our mission, strategic insight, wonderful wit, and true friendship to us every day.
