Why I Love Opera: Shelli Jacobs

Shelli Jacobs, of Perrysburg, serves as the Toledo Opera Guild's executive committee as a member at-large, and she recently co-chaired a Celebrity Wait Night event.

Why she loves opera:

"I enjoy supporting the opera because my family and I believe it is a priority to support the arts in Toledo. We are so fortunate to have opera here, to share it with our children so they can experience this gift we have. It is important that Toledo is known not just for our industry but our many gems, including the Toledo Opera. As a part of the guild, I have made lifelong friends whom I cherish."
