Jeanette Michael

​Jeanette is a long-time Operations Manager at New York Blood Center, a community-based nonprofit blood bank. Her connection to Timanous stretches back to 2010 when her sons, Javin and Jaear, started as young campers. Fast forward eleven years and Javin is now a veteran counselor! She lives in Yonkers, New York and enjoys being a mom most of all, but because her sons are now young adults, she has resolved to dedicate her time to helping others, especially children. She is an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., a service based organization. She also volunteers in her local neighborhood and is most proud to help with "The Little Library" which sits on a corner and houses free books for anyone in the neighborhood to take.

“Camp Timanous has become a tradition for our entire family and will be a part of us for the rest of our lives. We spend hours remembering the great times. I'm excited to join the Timanous board to help ensure that other families like my own can have the same opportunity and enjoy similar memories.”

Bruce Wimberly

​Bruce was a camper and counselor at Timanous, starting as a Hawk in 1976 and staying on as a counselor through 1986. He currently oversees equity strategy at Eaton Vance WaterOak Advisors, a financial advisory firm. He holds a Masters in Business and Education and assisted in the development of an urban elementary charter school. Bruce enjoys coaching youth sports, running, and golfing. He lives on the South Shore of Massachusetts with his wife and three children.

​“I have really enjoyed reconnecting with so many Timanous friends and look forward to serving the board in any capacity.  Timanous made a tremendous impact on me as a young boy and I know how important a role it can play in shaping lives. It is an honor to serve such a great organization!”
