Let's meet Kathy. She was recently featured in the Jan/Feb issue of The River, which is the Rambling River Center's bi-monthly newsletter.
A Rambling River Story - Kathy Gunderson
My story began in the summer of 2012 when I retired and started volunteering at the front desk of the Rambling River Center. I found that I enjoyed it and got to meet lots of people and it kept me up to date as to what activities were happening. My friends would say “How come you know so many people?” and I’d reply that is because I met them through the Rambling River Center. In 2014 we started a
Mountain Dulcimer Club with only four people meeting on Mondays at the center. Over the years we had as many as 16; we have 12 at the present time. Our group goes out into the community to entertain, mostly at other senior centers, the care center, etc. We truly enjoy what we are doing and the friendships we’ve made over the years are wonderful. Once a year, Missie asks us to play a concert at the Rambling River Center, usually in September. If you don’t know what a dulcimer is (I didn’t until I started playing), you can come check us out Mondays at 1 p.m. and listen to a song or two. If you find you have a need for things to do, I encourage you to get involved at the senior center, there are many activities going on, as well as opportunities to volunteer. Try us out, you will find many friendly faces happy to greet you.
