Patrick Campion

Board Treasurer

Eclectic Wiccan. His personal beliefs are primarily concerned with balance, both in secular life and in religion.

Religious: Patrick is on the Board of Directors for both the Tucson Area Wiccan/Pagan Network (TAWN) and for Mother Earth Ministries (MEM). He is the Membership Facilitator for TAWN and the Treasurer for MEM. His biggest hot buttons are religious tolerance and recycling. He feels any sane person must realize how quickly and how badly we are hurting our Mother Earth, and thinks that the Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Restore mantra is the best strategy to help heal Her.

Mundane: Patrick is an auditor working for the State of Arizona, and is currently working on his MBA. He and his wife Deborah live in a 1927 house that they have equipped with solar water heating and with photo-voltaic electric power generation.
