Kathy continually strives to make Sweet Adelines the best it can be. "It is a real gift to be able to belong to this organization. We are truly fortunate that all the circumstances are right for us to be able to participate. What we do with this opportunity is up to us...I think of a rehearsal as preparing a gift, and I want it to be the highlight of the week for my chorus. If we are focused correctly when we rehearse and when we perform, we are participants in a moment of infinite joy....each week!"
