Our Board of Directors
Margaret Klika
My name is Margaret Killa. This is my 54th season as a member of Chaminade Women’s Chorus. During those 54 years, I have served on every position on the chorus Board of Directors, including various terms as President of the chorus for six- and one-half years. I am retired and spent 42 working in the office at Appleton Papers Inc. (currently APPVION) in Appleton, WI. I have sung in churches choirs at Holy Angels (currently Holy Spirit) in Darboy, St. Patrick’s in Menasha and St. John’s in Little Chute since I was in high school. The thing that I enjoy most about Chaminade is all the friends I have made through the years. Some of my best friends today are past members of the chorus.
Cathy Hatfield
I began singing in choruses during elementary school in Kingsport, Tennessee, in the Glee Club. In Junior High School, I became a member of the Mixed Chorus. In High School, I was a member of the Mixed Chorus and the Madrigalians.
I also joined the Chancel Choir of First Presbyterian Church, in Kingsport. I was a member of the Chorus at Virginia Intermont College, an all women, two-year college, and had the opportunity to travel on two Spring Tours and sing at churches and universities in North Carolina and Virginia. I was also in the on-stage chorus in the musical, “Jo,” from Little Women.
After I was married, I sang in church choirs. While living in New Orleans, I sang the “Messiah” with a symphony chorus in New Orleans. In Westfield, New Jersey, I was a member of a women’s chorus, the Chansonettes. In Indiana, I joined the Evansville Philharmonic Chorus and sang with the Symphony Orchestra for Pop Concerts, Operas, etc. Then, I moved to Appleton and became a member of Chaminade in 1999. I also sang the “Messiah” with a community chorus. I have also been a soloist for family and friends’ weddings and in churches.
As you can tell, I love to sing and enjoy being a 1st Soprano in Chaminade. Wherever I have lived, I have been a choir member, and that has helped me feel at home by meeting other members in places without family nearby. I am married and have two grown children and one grandson.
