Each month, CASA of East Tennessee shines a spotlight on a particular volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their service of Knox County children. This month, we would like to offer a round of applause to Kathy Henry!
Kathy and her three sons
Kathy shared a little bit about her experience volunteering with CASA: "I was drawn to CASA because of the organization‘s mission to give a voice to a child’s needs and the goal of keeping the family unit intact. After training I was surprised at the scope of different cases, but having excellent support from the staff helped [me] overcome all the challenges. Since being a volunteer I have enjoyed meeting all the diversity of families, and especially loved meeting all the children. Getting the support of staff and getting to know them has been very enjoyable!"
Kathy also told us a little bit about herself and her family: "I have lived in Knoxville for seventeen years after having moved all over the country during my husband’s military career. My three boys and their families keep me busy, especially having seven grandchildren and another on the way! In my free time I volunteer with Mobile Meals, am in a Bible Study, am taking a stain glass class, and I make quilts for Project Linus. I am excited for the upcoming holidays; I will travel and meet the newest grandson!"
Thank you Kathy!
