guests feel welcome and allowed
them to get a real sense of our
community.
One of her very early Holliston
organizations was the Newcomers
Club. She spent several
years in various board roles fostering
community spirit and organizing
events to raise funds for
local schools, organizations, and
departments, ultimately becoming
its President.
She has served as a passionate
Deacon of her church and continues
to volunteer in many capacities
fulfilling her own mission
to helping anyone who needs it.
Kathy has spent over 20 years
volunteering in Celebrate Holliston,
our annual event that is
attended by thousands, including
multiple years as co-chair.
With her boundless energy and
creativity, she kept a focus on the
traditions while she encouraged
implementation of fresh ideas.
ServSafe certified since 2009,
she runs the kitchen for numerous
charity events around town.
One of her joys is continuing to
run the in Celebrate Holliston
Food Tent where she has a loyal
following of 25+ volunteers.

smile when they see her coming

that people will rally to Kathy’
