She taught for 2 years in the Canaseraga district and then spent 28 years impacting countless lives of 1st and 2nd graders in Dansville. Alice wasn't known for sitting still, so while teaching she helped with marketing and product development in the family businesses - Burdick Associates and Shapes, Etc. Alice retired from teaching in 1989 and began her tireless volunteer efforts to advocate for the beautification and preservation of the Dansville community. She was a chairperson, board member and member of several different organizations in the area. The Revitalization Committee, the Dansville Business Association, the Dansville Area Chamber of Commerce & Promotions and Marketing Committee, the Landmark Society of Western New York, the Dansville Historical Society, the West Sparta Historical Society, Clara Barton Chapter #1 of the American Red Cross, and several festival committees.

Many people can attest to getting signed up for various committees by Alice, sometimes without even knowing they had said yes.
