MVCC Board Members
Shari Carter
Co-President/Director
Welcome to MVCC! We are so excited to have you join us for music making fun! I have always loved music and singing. I took private voice lessons for 5 years and was a member of the Palouse Choral Society in Washington State for 10 years. While in the chorus I had the opportunity to sing several solos as a 1st Soprano. I was a Cosmetologist for 25 years and am now a Real Estate Agent/Investor. I have 5 kids, a daughter-in-law and 1 sweet grandson. I grew up in Morgan and have a love for the community and all it has to offer.
Kristine Sommers

Hello and Welcome! I guess you could say music is my life. I have sung with and led many choirs for 40 years! Directing children's choir's bring me the most joy and I am very excited to make music with you all. I have written 15 songs and published and recorded 10 of them. You can find them on the Lyrics of Light website.
I have 5 kids,16 grandkids, and 1 great-grandson. I've lived most of my life in Morgan and am happy to add the MVCC to the Morgan Community.
Kayci Dunn
Vice President/Director
Although I'm a Wisconsin native, I consider Morgan Valley to be home and I'm so grateful to be a part of the MVCC! My husband and I have 4 awesome kids who enjoy a variety of things including sports, music, hunting, baking, and enjoying the outdoors, and raising backyard chickens. I started private vocal lessons and performing in musical theater beginning at age 6. My love for music and singing has continued my whole life, from participating in local and state honors choirs to my pursuit of a vocal performance degree at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love to see the children in our community thriving in music and look forward to enjoying and learning right along side of them in the MVCC!
Kayli Sorenson
Secretary/Director
I have always loved music, especially singing! I was raised in a home filled with music and spent the majority of my growing-up years on stage, singing in various choirs and performing in theater productions. Now I’m a mom of five amazing children and strive to fill our home with music as well! When I’m not singing or involved in theater, I work with several hundred children every week as a P.E. Teacher, and am constantly amazed by their expressive and adventurous personalities. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing group of ladies dedicated to helping your children grow their talents and spread the magic of music to our beautiful community!
Heather Stevenson
Piano Accompanist/Director
Since my daughter joined the choir, I volunteered to accompany during rehearsals. I love to play the piano and also help the children learn their parts. It's so fun to see it all come together as they gain confidence. This year I will also be directing.
Kristalee Hawkes
Choreographer/Director
My daughter and I love to sing and dance. I grew up dancing in my mother's dance studio. I have taken lessons my whole life and love to be on stage! When I'm not singing and dancing, I'm being a mom to 6 awesome kids. We have been heavily involved in the MVCC since it's beginnings. I love to choreograph the numbers and construct the performances for concerts.
