Here are some fun facts about them to get to know them even a little better:
Katherine Ahlers otherwise known as Kat has been with the USVYL for almost a year now and is witnessing the rapid growth of the USYVL programs. Kat is a great asset to the USYVL team. She works hard everyday by hiring great site directors and clinicians for all of our sites. I sat down with Kat and found out some of her favorite things. Haps: Do you have any brothers and sisters? Kat: Yes, Barbara, my older sister by three years. Haps: What is your coolest hobby? Kat: That's a toss-up between surfing and the volunteer work I do with large and exotic animals (mostly big cats) at the Wildlife Way station. Haps: What is the craziest thing you have ever done? Kat: I lead a pretty adventurous life, but I don't consider any of what I do crazy! :) Many people tell me that walking and handling mountain lions is crazy, but it's normal life for me! Kat: The best thing is knowing that I'm doing my part to help kids develop an interest in athletics that they will hopefully carry with them long after they've left our program. Kat: I Love the Melting Pot, though it's not somewhere that I would want to eat at on a daily basis. It's a fondue place that serves several courses with each meal. The cheese appetizer portion and the chocolate dessert portion are my favorite courses. Kat: New Years Eve Haps: Good cookies or good cake? Haps: Do you have any pets? Kat: Yes, Junior, my cat that I've had for almost 16 years now Kat: Never go to either, but since I don't like coffee at all I'll have to go with Jamba Juice Kat: The beach Kat: I love movies so this answer changes frequently for me. A constant favorite are the old 1930's and 1940's Sherlock Holmes movies. I like to watch them whenever I feel like relaxing and vegging out. Kat: I'd like to continue to see the organization grow and expand into new areas and reach out to as many kids as possible. Kat: My wonderful co-workers, of course! Patrick Arnold, Programs Assistant Patrick is the newest addition to the programs department team. He is eager to help in expanding and opening many sites so kids can learn and play the game of volleyball. Haps: So Patrick, everyone wants to know what is the craziest thing you have ever done?
