CATHY DONERAfter 37 years in the banking industry, Cathy was laid off due to job elimination in September of 2018. This resulted in a blessing in disguise.
Confident with her self-developed skills as a custom cookie artist, she decided to "take the 'n' out of banker” and obtained her Cottage Kitchen license and started her own business. She named her business C’Sweets and started in January 2019. The primary challenge she found was the amount of time it took to decorate the works of art she creates. She had spent 9 hours decorating one dozen cookies, but her mantra has always been that she learns something new every day and she is confident she will succeed.
Cathy resides in Enfield, CT and I raised two children on her own, Robert and Alyssa, and she is proud that they are both successful adults. Her life and stability are centered in God. She has been blessed with the opportunity to assist with God's mission of love and service by participating in humanitarian trips to the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and the past two years accompanying Rotary member Mary Anne Herron to Cambodia. She is looking forward to the third year traveling with Mary Anne to Cambodia in October.
