Election of TCNA officers and board members

Amy MacDonald, nominated to be President of the Tuscany Canterbury Neighborhood Association.

She brings a deep commitment to public service, education, and community connection. A Baltimore resident since 1999, Amy has lived on Ridgemede Road since 2011. In 2017, she and her husband, Kelly Wright, were married in a small ceremony before the hearth of their nearly 100-year-old home, which they are lovingly restoring. They can often be found sharing a bottle of wine by the fire in the backyard, deep in conversation with each other or with neighbors and friends. Kelly is a "recovering engineer" turned Certified Financial Planner and serves as the Director of Financial Planning at Verdence Capital Advisors, a money-management firm in Hunt Valley. They joyfully share their home, with Abby (20) and Teddy (17) whose sparkling intellect and kind hearts inspire them. Abby and Teddy also represent the fourth generation of their family to call both Tuscany Canterbury and Calvert School home—their father, Matt Buck, is Head of Calvert’s Middle School, and their grandfather Rick and great-aunt Robin (a longtime Calvert teacher) were both graduates and former residents of our neighborhood.

Amy studied English and economics at Williams College and earned her master’s in public policy from Johns Hopkins, with a focus on labor economics, social policy and international development. She has worked at the U.S. Government Accountability Office since 2002, helping strengthen the effectiveness of the federal government. Passionate about inclusive dialogue, neighborhood stewardship, and the quiet power of everyday connection, Amy looks forward to serving this community she, Kelly, Abby, and Teddy are proud to call home.

• Sharon Dlhosh
• Salli Ward

Sharon Dlhosh currently resides with her husband, Bill Bass, at 3933 Cloverhill Road in the Tuscany-Canterbury neighborhood of Baltimore. After graduation from the University of Maryland in 1975, she began her adult life as a Peace Corp volunteer in Chad, West Africa. This eye-opening experience inspired her rewarding career in Medicine. She attained her Doctorate in Medicine and Masters in Public Health at Tufts University in Boston in 1992. Sharon practiced Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins Community Physicians at Green Spring Station until her retirement in 2022. She remains active on the Part-Time Teaching Faculty of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (JHUSOM) as Assistant Professor where she conducts sessions for Hopkins Medical Students in the Longitudinal Ambulatory Clerkship and Advanced Ambulatory Clerkship. Recognized by her patients, peers and students alike, she has been inducted into the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Distinguished Teaching Society and the Academy of Clinical Excellence, and she has received numerous awards for her work as an outstanding educator. Sharon also serves on the JHUSOM Admissions Committee.

Sharon and Bill enjoy time with their grandchildren, travel, gardening, and the challenging sport of golf. She will join the TCNA Board as the Community Representative/Liaison to the City of Baltimore Residential Permit Parking Office.

Salli Ward and her husband, Bill Ward, have lived in Tuscany-Canterbury at the St. James on Charles Street since January of 2017. Salli and Bill are from Illinois where Salli taught elementary school and Bill invested money for an insurance company. They relocated to Maryland in 1996 and lived in Owings Mills. Salli has taught at Goucher College, mentored teachers in Baltimore City and had a home-based business, Wonderful Wardrobes.

Salli is an active volunteer with several organizations including the Baltimore Women's Giving Circle, the Women's Club of Roland Park, League of Women Voters, tutoring students with Reading Partners, and helping at Cylburn with the grounds.. In her spare time she loves to read/listen to books, exercise, cook, and enjoys walking in our neighborhood picking up trash.

TCNA will supply beef and veggie burgers, hot dogs and rolls, condiments, potato chips, soft drinks, water, beer, wine and ice.

Neighbors have volunteered to bring one grill, charcoal and lighter fluid, grilling utensils, paper and plastic supplies, trash bags.

Still need neighbors to:

• Bring side dishes and desserts
• Help with set up, grilling and clean-up
• Have children help with games and activities
• Bring games such as corn toss, horse shoes, croquet
• Bring one more grill

Please RSVP so we have an idea how much food to order. One year we ran out of burgers because we had such a great crowd of neighbors. Also let us know if you would like to volunteer to help. It's a great way to see and meet your neighbors.
