(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)
This holiday season, Katelyn hosted a “Cookies & Cards” event at Patty & Pablo’s in Kaukauna, with help from her mom, Jennifer. The event invited the community to create handmade holiday cards for veterans.
“We’re making cards for the veterans because I figured, why do we only celebrate veterans on Veterans Day?” Katelyn said.
The cards will be delivered Friday morning to VFW Post 3088 in Sturgeon Bay and Friday afternoon to the American Legion in Appleton.
This isn’t the first time Katelyn has used her creativity to help others.
“Usually I do this for my birthdays,” she said. “I ask people to get stuff for other people instead of for me.”
