Joanne Thoutt, Administrative Assistant

What year you joined the staff at 4Cs:
2005

What you do at 4Cs:
Administrative Assistant to Children’s Ministries, which is a fancy title for the secretarial duties I do such as tracking and keeping attendance, keeping our databases current, sending birthday cards and “missed you” cards to kiddos who haven’t attended in awhile. Also, I help with our kids club and I design and mail out the postcards inviting the kids to come to club each month.

Life History:
I have lived in Colorado since I was 4 years old (born in Illinois). I have one brother and one sister. I Graduated from Arvada High School in 1983 and Parks College in 1985 with an associate’s Degree in Business Administration. I went to work for a local trucking company after I graduated from Parks College and worked there until my oldest started Kindergarten in 1995 then I resigned to be a full time mom. Keith and I were married in 1987 and we have two children - Derek 16, Chelsea 13. We’ve been attending 4Cs’ since 1989.

What you enjoy doing on your day off:
Crocheting, Scrapbooking, shopping with my mom or my daughter, and watching old movies.

List one of your most interesting memories/experiences:
We had a rare opportunity to go to Italy in 2001. While there we climbed to the top of Michelangelo’s dome at St. Peter’s Basilica. We had to climb about 491 steps that once you’ve started you are not allowed to turn around and go back down (very narrow stairway) The view when you step out of the dome is a 360 degree view of Rome. It was incredible. It is a must do if ever in Rome.

What is something that not many people know about you:
I love to watch cooking shows (Rachel Ray is my favorite). I have fun teasing Keith that my dream kitchen is parked next to the house. We love to go camping in our RV.
