My name is Deana Zentner and I am a senior resident of 22 years in the Town of  
Rutland, Dane County. It has been an honor to serve on our town board for 5 years. The  
demographics in our town of approximately 2,000 residents indicate a high population of  
seniors. For 4 years, I enjoyed serving on an area Municipal Group that addressed the  
needs and services within the Oregon Area Senior Center. My personal experience  
includes caring for aging parents, which included copious research and extensive  
hands-on experience. My career background is grounded in elementary education. I  
taught in Wisconsin and also in California for several years. I love learning and  
researching, and would immerse myself in providing excellent service in any committee I  
am in.
