Kathy Koehler

Niwot 4^th of July Parade Grand Marshal

It is hard to find anyone in Niwot more connected to our community than Kathy Koehler. After moving here in 1972, Kathy has injected herself into all things Niwot. The list of volunteer positions from over the years is amazing especially when you consider that she raised two daughters as a single mother.

Niwot Community Association (NCA): Secretary and liaison to the NBA
Niwot Historical Society: Board member, membership chair, newsletter, and lecture committee
Left Hand Grange #9: Active member
Niwot Business Association (NBA): Rock & Rails committee, projects/events volunteer, and liaison from the NCA
Sculpture Park: Committee member
Niwot Community Arts Association:
Niwot High School: Booster club
Niwot Elementary School: Classroom helper, PTA, fundraiser
Sunset Middle School: National Honor Society volunteer and drama club supporter
Niwot Nifties 4-H Club: Co-leader

In 2014 Kathy was selected as a Left Hand Laurel and is the main conduit between the NBA, NCA, NCAA, Niwot Nifties, and more. If you need a contact, Kathy probably has it or can easily get it. Without her tireless efforts in and around Niwot local organizations would not be able to accomplish all that they do.
