Shannon, one of our newest members, joined the Pikes Peak club in 1999. She grew up in Dubois, Wyoming and attended high school in Missoula, Montana. After graduating from high school, she traveled to France to work as an au pair. During the five years she lived there, Shannon married and had three children: Noemie (now 23), mother of two boys; Bryan (21), a student at the University of Colorado in Greeley; and Mark (17), a student at Wasson High School. All three children are bilingual, and Shannon continues to enjoy trips to re-visit France.
She moved to Colorado Springs and attended UCCS where she received her degree in education. For the past 11 years she has taught (mostly) 3rd grade at Wilson Elementary School.
Shannon has been married to Tim Rowan for the past four years. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, hiking and working in her yard.
In 1999 Kris Wells invited Shannon to a Zonta club meeting. She joined shortly thereafter because she liked the idea of doing something for women internationally. She also enjoys the camaraderie shared by her fellow Zonta sisters.
