Katelyn shows her Best of All!

Katelyn was our advocate speaker for the Brew HaHa just a week ago and she rocked it! Each session she participates in GiGiFIT Adult and Tutoring and over the summer was a part of the first GiGi Prep program (which is returning again for the summer of 2022). Katelyn loves to greet people at the Playhouse and speak up about all of the programs and friendships that have impacted her.

Katelyn is extremely independent. She lives on her own with her cat and works at Karthauser and Sons as a florist. Besides attending programs, you can also see Katelyn at the Playhouse as she assists in taking photographs with her new 35mm camera.

Katelyn demonstrated her advocacy skills and Best of All in front of the crowd at the 5th annual Brew HaHa on Oct. 23rd.
