When the Lace City first chartered in November 1996, Kath was proud to become a member of Sweet Adelines International. She is a very active chorus member and highly involved in chorus management.
For many years, Kath led the membership team, working tirelessly to provide pastoral care to new members ensuring they are supported when joining the chorus. Last autumn, the chorus ran a community singing course that attracted a staggering 100 women of all ages. Kath did all the administration for this event and those that subsequently joined the chorus cannot praise her enough. She coordinates the logistics of regional and international conventions giving endless time, patience and energy, sorting and organising the chorus. She took on the difficult tasks of bookings hotels, rehearsal rooms, meals, afterglows and travel plans. Her organisational skills were incredibly tested in 2005 when Lace City Chorus was preparing to represent Region 31 in New Orleans. She had already booked hotel rooms and flights for every member when Hurricane Katrina hit five weeks before. She then took on the mammoth task of reorganising everything in those few weeks! All members owe her immense gratitude for that … and all conventions since.
She has done so much for the chorus with so much effort and energy. She has given an endless supply of warm friendship, topped off with a lovely sense of humour, that is appreciated by all chorus members.
