Shirl Donahue fell in love with hiking in the Coachella Valley so much so that she now spends 7 months a year here, the other 5 in NJ. Being bi-coastal is not without challenges - like transporting her dog and car back and forth. She has been on the CVHC Executive Board for 12 years. She is currently serving as Club President, a position she has held since 2020. Hiking is one of the best ways to get to know people with so much quality time on the trails. Her philosophy is that we are not just a hiking club but we are a hiking community. Shirl had a 34 year career in the Hi-Tech Industry that she is so grateful for. It has afforded her lifetime travel benefits as a Million mile plus traveler and the chance to meet so many people in so many companies that have shaped the technologies that are meant to improve our lives. She is also a docent with the Palm Springs Historical Society, a volunteer with many community organizations, a tennis enthusiast, and she enjoys a game of mah jong whenever possible.
