VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
At WE Seniors, we’re fortunate to have an incredible group of people you’ve likely met, spoken with, or received help from at one time or another — our volunteers. We thought you might enjoy learning a little more about them: what inspired them to volunteer with us, what brought them here, and the experiences they’ve had as part of our community.
This month, we’re featuring Kathy Katzenback.
