Current Board Members

President: Pam Anctil

First Concert: 2008

Favorite Song: It's a tie between "One Particular Harbor" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty."

Summer Drink: Margaritas or an ice cold Landshark

Pam has been a lifelong Buffett Fan. She discovered her first concert/tailgate during Hurricane Hanna, Labor Day weekend 2008 at Great Woods with her brother. Every year since, concert day is a holiday! They celebrate Buffett Day whether they are at the show or not. Yes, she did wear the pirate hat to work the year that she couldn’t go!

Pam joined Club Finz in 2019 and recruited her husband, Scott. She served as community service director for 5 years.

"I am excited to work with this new board of directors! I'm looking forward to what the future holds, Let's all keep the party going!

FINZ UP!

Bio:

Treasurer: Dawn LaFrance

First Concert: 2021 on the parrot head bus (old virgins, lol, although I've been a huge Buffett fan for years!)

Favorite Song: One Particular Harbor ❤, Son of a Son of a Sailor (makes me feel like I'm on the ocean), and Brown Eyed Girl (reminds me of our trip to Jamaica for 30th Anniversary

Summer Drink: Rum Punch, Margaritas, pretty much anything cold & fruity, red wine is a go to the rest of the year.

Dawn and her husband joined Club Finz in 2019 after becoming camping friends (and much more) with Club Finz members. They loved the idea of "Partying with a Purpose" and helping others. They have had an absolute blast so far! "I'm very excited to be on this board with these amazing people and can't wait to see what we can accomplish together!"

Secretary: Kim Hirsch

First Concert: 2016 (don't laugh!)

Favorite Song: "Come Monday” and always loved “Cheeseburger in Paradise” because my bestie from High School and I used to belt that out-great memory.

Summer Drink: Hmmm-Wine is my go-to, but I love a good Paloma, Painkiller and Pina Colada!

Kim joined Club Finz in 2016. “I was introduced to this amazing group by Robin Wright and Mark Holloway and have loved every minute of this club and the experiences I have had ever since.”

Kim resides in Portsmouth with her 18 year old daughter Lilly and her two dogs and two cats.

“ I am excited to be part of this powerhouse of a board!”

Fundraiser Director: Dee Cote

First Concert: 1996, Banana Wind Hartford CT <because that was all I could get tickets for>

Favorite Song: Uplifting ones- Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On, Bubbles Up, Wings. My favorite line “There is no dumbass vaccine” from Permanent Reminder

Summer Drink: Paloma or Mojito

I remember my first Buffett single- Fins, with Dreamsicle on the back, but I didn’t become a devoted fan until the 90s. My husband Mark and I only made it to a handful of shows, but the highlight was bringing our 9-year-old son to a concert- Bama Breeze.

I just joined Club Finz last year, and I am thrilled at the new friends I have made, the fun events and most importantly, the true difference we make in the community.

Co-Social Directors: Allison Alper & Jim Joseph

Jim’s Favorite Song: Why Don’t We Get Drunk? Pencil Thin Mustache is also a fun tune!

Allison’s Favorite Song: It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere. It’s a good motto to live by!

Jim’s Favorite Summer Drink: Mojito or Pina Colada

Allison’s Favorite Summer Drink: A rose slushy or a Shockin’ Lemonade (lemonade with blueberry vodka)

Allison met Diane at a former employer back in 2009 and instantly became friends (and family). Allison joined the Club Finz crew at social events, fundraisers, and on many camping trips. The members expanded her knowledge of Jimmy songs, and the laidback island life vibe was all she needed to fit right in. Allison officially joined the Club in 2021. This is her first year serving on the Board. A few years into being a member of the Club, Allison met Jim. Becoming partners in paradise, Jim joined the “band” in 2024 after a year of fun and camping adventures with the Club. This is his first year serving on the Board.
