ABOUT THE GILLESPIES
As proud members of the Indian Lake community, the Gillespies are deeply committed to local initiatives. They are active members of the Indian Lake Development Corporation, dedicating their time to volunteer at festivals and supporting a variety of community projects. Their involvement with the Indian Lake Watershed Project (ILWP) highlights their dedication to improving the lake's water quality. Over the past few years, they have collaborated closely with the ILWP to manage and remove invasive weeds that have affected the area. Suzanne serves as the secretary of the Daily Bread of Indian Lake, an organization that provides meals and a welcoming space for socialization to those in need within the community. Recently, she joined the United Way board to help support the community's recovery efforts following the March 14th tornado.
Derek and Suzanne have two sons, Jace (9) and Jett (5), who have grown up as a part of the Shoreline crew! Jace is often seen playing basketball, while Jett enjoys working with equipment at his “job site”. During the summer, the Gillespies cherish time spent boating and swimming with friends and family, staying busier than ever!
