I am a Police Officer/Emergency Management Director with the City of Paynesville. I am better known as K9 Jerry's personal driver. I have worked for the city since January of 2017. I am also an emergency medical technician for CentraCare Health-Monticello. I serve on the Paynesville Airport Commision and am on the committee that is working to bring the airshow back to town. On my days off I like to travel and go camping.

My name is Kayla Loesch and I am employed by MAG Wealth Management as a Client Service Associate. I love working with people and helping them to achieve their goals. I am looking forward to being part of the Paynesville Chamber and continuing to bring support to our local businesses.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, golfing, and being in the great outdoors.

My name is Lynnette Ostendorf and I am the marketing and sales manager at Yarmon Ford. I have been with the dealership since May of 2019. I previously did print, digital, and website marketing with Adams Publishing Group. I live in Sauk Centre with my two children, Gavin (12) and Brennan (9). I had been on the Sauk Centre Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for 6 years and the Economic Development Authority of Sauk Centre for 5 years. I am excited to be a part of the Paynesville Chamber of Commerce so I can continue to learn more about your great community!

My name is Maia Rue. My husband, Kelly Rue and I have lived in Paynesville since 2002. We will be married for 28-years in 2021. We have two children, Shelby and Shawn, both graduates of Paynesville High School. I graduated from KMS Highschool in 1991. I attended Winona Technical College/Winona State University and obtained my A.A.S Degree/Legal Secretary Diploma in 1993. Immediately following college, I worked for Fingerhut Companies from 1993-2002 as a Compliance Risk Analyst. I joined the Law Firm of Gray Plant Mooty in 2002 and worked as a Legal Secretary and Paralegal until 2007. I enrolled in St. Cloud State University in 2007 to finish my Bachelor’s Degree and left Gray Plant Mooty to join the Law Firm of Leonard Street and Deinard. I graduated from St. Cloud State with my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Studies in 2012. Yes! It took 5 years to finish the last 2 years of my degree. I was a working mom with a career and a husband running his own business. Upon graduation I made an additional career move and rejoined Fingerhut Companies parent company Bluestem Brands. I also joined Bugbee Hive Resort as their Wedding and Events Manager in 2014 as a side hustle/fun job. I am an active member of Toastmasters.

I am the daughter of Kenneth and Virginia Miller. I have four siblings, and I am the fourth child. I am currently a junior at PAHS. I am involved in Students Against Destructive Decisions as a student representative, Student Council, and Paynesville Cares as a student representative. I play softball as well. I am currently employed at PAWS. My plans for next year is to continue my schooling at PAHS and work towards graduating and finding the perfect college and career option for me.

I am the daughter of Karen and Gary Thompson. I have one brother, he is a freshman and his name is Lucas. I am currently a Junior at Paynesville Area High School. I am involved in Students Against Destructive Decisions and Paynesville Cares as a student representative, as well as 4H outside of school. I am also a junior member of the American Shorthorn Association, as I raise and show my own cattle. I am employed at PAWS, the elementary after school care program, as a student staff member and Paynesville Inn and Suites as a housekeeper. I plan to attend a 4 year university and major in Sports Medicine after I graduate. In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends, listen to music, and spend time with my family.
