ATLANTA (September 27, 2010) The J.M. Tull-Gwinnett Family YMCA is recognizing Kathy Aarts as its 2010 volunteer of the year. Aarts will be honored at the YMCA of Metro Atlanta annual volunteer recognition dinner Monday, November 8, 2010, at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Aarts first became involved with the Y as a member, joining in 2001. Currently, she is serving her fifth year as a Y volunteer. She coaches recreational soccer and is involved in other youth special events. “Most of my volunteering has been coaching youth recreational soccer teams,” says Aarts. “I have gotten to know some remarkable children and their families, many of which I still keep in touch with after coaching their children.” In addition to her Y volunteer work, Aarts is involved with St. Marguerite d’Youville Church parish council, Sunday school and vacation Bible school. Aarts and her husband reside in Lawrenceville. They have five children and one grandchild. The Y is a powerful association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn grow and connect. |
