Ruth Ann Olinger Aldridge has been a board member since January 2023. However,  she had volunteered in prior years since living in the area for over 30 years.

She loves anything that will take her to live music and to the outside landscapes of this beautiful world. However, she more than often seeks waterways to nourish her exploration of arts and nature.

If there was a tagline for her life it would be “health is our greatest treasure and art, nature, music, and water are key elements to this destination”.

Ruth is extremely honored to be a part of SCAN board and the community it serves for the areas that encompass the historic “Horseshoe Bend” watershed to the Chesapeake and beyond.
