Although she has just one son, she has four young mentees who consider her their Fairy God Mother.  Tracy is active in Robby’s life too serving as Cub Scout Leader, Team Mom, Room Mom and over-all cool mom on the block.  Given all the hats she’s wearing, we’re simply thrilled to have her here co-chairing this year’s luncheon.
