One of the coolest things about our Village is how different everyone is and this month's member is no exception - did you know she is a nurse anesthetist?! While she's called a few different places "home," she's been in Louisville for a decade now and loves Jack Fry's. You might run into her at a TJ Maxx, that is when she's not at one of our classes (and boy does she love a Bowman sunrise). Meet Caitlin Brey, our January Member of the Month!
