Member of BAMSL Community: Ms. Rulo enjoys working with children. She has given several presentations on civics-related matters at Parkway South Schools. She also has assisted in fundraising efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Light the Night, and other childhood cancer fundraisers, as her nephew suffered with childhood cancer at the age of 8 years, ultimately prevailing in his fight against the disease. Sadly, many of the friends he met through Cardinal Glennon, were not so lucky. Ms. Rulo has been a financial supporter of the Walker Scottish Rite Clinic, which is committed to assisting young children suffering with speech disorders, regardless of their families’ ability to pay for services.
