After 30 years of fundraising, she retired in 2022.<\/div>\n
Her experience with the Assistance League was successfully consigning jewelry and furniture items over many years; the interaction with the members who worked in Consignment made her feel very welcome.     Upon learning about the mission of the organization, and the programs which ALGP supports, it wasn\u2019t hard to identify that this is where she wanted to allocate some of her retirement time.  She felt she had \u201cfound her tribe\u201d. Kathy became a member in 2023.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
