Cathy Kates

I have been working in the broadcasting industry in Northland radio for 16 years. My life has been an "open-book", sharing trials, tribulations and every day life experiences, because YOU are my friends. I have compassion for people and animals. That has lead me to be involved with many different non-profit agencies on a local and national level. I am a board member for the Northern Light's Foundation, an organization that grants money to families with children who have cancer or a catastrophic disease. For the past 13 years I have been on the Thanksgiving Day Buffet Committee, responsible for feeding over 3,000 needy families in the Northland, a full Thanksgiving meal at the local Convention Center. I don't limit my involvement to large non-profit organizations, I also attend the home-town meatball and spaghetti dinners and benefits. That's where my connection grows stronger with you on a face-to-face level, and we become family. I am also the Public Affairs Director for Townsquare Media, so if you have a benefit or non-profit event you would like on our Community Calendar, make sure to email me the information. Thanks for waking up with me every morning, I'm always here for you......always a phone call, or an email away.  Hugs!

Leftover Easter Ham? Take the Chill Out of the Evening with Taste of Home’s Ham and Corn Chowder

I was lucky enough to have been invited to my co-host, Ken Hayes' mother's home for Easter dinner this year.  The ham was delicious, the cheesy potatoes couldn't be cheesier (than Ken) and the homemade rolls were fresh and hot out of the oven.  Ken got to take the leftover ham home, but if you were left with lots of ham and don't know what to do with it, make Taste of Home's Ham and Corn Chowder.  It's easy, yummy and will help combat that Spring chill in the air.
