September 2021 Volunteer of the Month - Kyle & Lena Vincent
Kyle and Lena Vincent are our September 2021 Volunteer of the month.
Before moving to Santaquin, where they have resided for the last twelve years, Kyle and Lena Vincent spent the first eight years of their twenty-year marriage in Cedar City and Springville. Together they have five children ages 19, 17, 15, 6 and 4.
Recently the Vincent’s have been very active in community service. Since 2020, Kyle has worked with Santaquin Community Services to develop cultural arts. In 2021, Kyle was added as Chairman of the Community Services Board and became a member of the RAP TAX Committee. He recently taught a mural painting class and led that same class in painting our first Santaquin mural located at Centennial Park. (Attached)
Kyle is an Art Instructor at Payson Junior High where he has the opportunity to mold young minds. His classes recently displayed their artwork at an exhibit in the Santaquin Chieftain Museum.
Lena joined a subcommittee on developing cultural arts in 2020. She has been active since that time planning art classes and events like the recent “Concert in the Park Series”. She volunteered as an instructor to teach Santaquin’s first stained glass class for adults. She is actively planning for a future 2022 Art Festival.
Aside from being a busy homemaker and serving our town, Lena, a very talented violinist, finds time to teach violin lessons and enjoys making about 500 synthetic dreadlocks each week for a company called The Dreadful Hippie. The company sells the dreadlocks online and at festivals.
The Vincent’s shared that they are a very art-centered family. Music is a big part of their lives. They love singing in choirs and participating in orchestras. Lena has been performing in The Millennial Choir Orchestra for the past seven years.
Even though this busy family loves the arts, they have many other interests as well. Two of these are gardening and travel. This summer they were able to visit Hawaii, but one of their most memorable trips was when they spent two weeks driving across country. They were able to see many sights on their way, including Chicago, New York, Niagara Falls, and D.C.
Thank you, Kyle and Lena, for sharing your talents through service to our Santaquin community.
