Kathy Rogers has lived in the Central Linn Area since the 1990's. She is a long time volunteer at the Linn County Historical Museum in Brownsville, an active member of the Brownville Women's Study Club and the president of the Friends of the Brownsville Library. She and her husband and other family members raise and sell seed for wetland restoration and wildlife habitat enhancement projects on their 500 acre farm, River Refuge Seed Company, south of Brownsville. Kathy values the strong, vibrant community spirit she has found here in the Central Linn Area and sees the Central Linn Community Foundation as a way to support and encourage its continuation.
