She started and ran a program for disabled children at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center. She taught at the Sonoma Charter School and was an active volunteer with the Girl Scouts, and Bouverie Preserve.

So sorry for your loss. I only knew Lane for a short while at Bouverie. Her smile and positive attitude made working with her a pleasure.
