On December 8 the Faribault Rotary Club was honored to receive the classification talk by fellow Rotarian Katy Anderegg. Ms. Anderegg started her talk describing her family; speaking of her husband of three years, Nate; her mother; and her affable grandfather, who had a gift for connecting with people he met. She spoke of the difficult relationship she had with her father, expressing gratitude that she was able to reconcile with him prior to his passing.
Katy revealed that she has a genetically passed disease that runs in her family, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type-1 (MEN-1). She described the disease and commented she will likely have surgery to manage the disease’s effects on her health in the coming years. Katy has a varied background having worked as a graphic designer, but later becoming a Minnesota Master Naturalist in 2019. She also has achieved a yellow belt in tae kwon do. She enjoys working at the River Bend Nature Center, serving as the operations manager. Katy spoke about she and her husband’s love of travel, showing photographs of recent trips. She really enjoys visiting a wildlife management area near Shieldsville and showed several pictures she has taken of wildlife.
The Club warmly welcomed her presentation and members look forward to joining with her to serve our community.
