Kathy Burrows, Member at Large
I am happily retired after teaching for Racine Unified schools for 40 years in both elementary and middle schools. My husband and I have four adult children and four grandchildren from our combined families. My hobbies and interests include scrapbooking and other paper crafting, gardening, cooking, walks in the woods, reading, and spending time with my grandkids. When I am not doing one of those things, you would find me doing volunteer work at St. Richard Parish. I have been involved with the Our Harmony Club at the St. Richard site since 2017. I volunteer twice a month. As a part of each of my days here I bring in a craft activity once a month and my sister and I prepare lunch once a month.
After retirement, I was looking for a place to use my talents to serve others. Since my parish, St. Richard, is one of the host sites for Our Harmony Club, I decided to start there. What a gem I found! Being able to experience the smiles and joy that come from some of the simplest things we do with our guests during the day; making crafts, singing, and exercising, playing bocce ball with foam balls, bean bag toss, or dancing/singing with the afternoon entertainers, fills my heart! I am also here because I realize how much family care givers need this day for themselves knowing their loved ones are cared for and are having an enjoyable day. One day on my way in, I was wearing a t-shirt that said, “Make Someone Smile Today.” One of the family care givers who was on her way back to her car looked at me and said, “You just did!” That really told me why I belong here working with this wonderful group.
Looking for a wonderful day? Come to Our Harmony Club!
