Robert Wappel, Vice President
​​
Bob grew up and went to college in the suburbs of Chicago, where he learned the value of hard work and community. He married a Long Island native who (after 15 years) convinced him to move to Long Island. After living in Dix Hills and Huntington, they moved to Greenlawn in 2018, and are so lucky they did! Bob is passionate about being involved in the GCA and believes that strong communities are built by neighbors who care. He believes that the Civic Association makes Greenlawn an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. Bob is grateful to be part of such a welcoming community and is truly proud to call Greenlawn home. ​​
Tracy Tasch, Treasurer​
​
Tracy grew up in Farmingdale, attended SUNY Albany for college, and then spent 10+ years living in Kew Gardens. She returned to Long Island with her family and wanted a nice community with great schools - that's how she ended up in Greenlawn! She has been licensed as a CPA in NY for almost 20 years, and is excited to volunteer her skills while also learning about the new community that her family has joined. She looks forward to many years of service with the GCA and community as a whole.
