"I am happy to be helping an organization that does so much great work, that I might very well need some day too," said Simmons. "There are so many great programs and volunteers and they make such a difference in our community. I have not been to the BAC for about 8 years, so it will be a great return for me."

Proceeds from the event further RSVP’s mission to help seniors with volunteer-based programs such as escorted transportation, companions for the homebound, respite visits for in-home caregivers, free coupons to local farmers markets for low-income seniors and much more.

“If you haven’t had a chance to experience one of Kat Simmons’ comedy shows, please take advantage of this opportunity and join us,” said Susan Haas, Executive Director and CEO for Nevada Rural Counties RSVP Program, Inc. “If you have seen her before, then you know that you are in for a treat.

This event is sponsored by Café at Adele’s in order to help provide our local seniors and persons with disabilities with free services needed to keep them living independently” said Haas.

Kat Simmons has been applauded for her “Clean, Conscious, Connected Comedy” and while on the international comedy circuit, she has appeared with Tim Allen, Kevin Nealon, Zig Ziglar and many others in her 27-year career as a comedienne and motivational speaker. She appears regularly in the Carson Valley.

RSVP’s mission: To help frail, homebound, and low-income seniors remain independent by providing high quality programs which allow them to stay in their homes with dignity. Additionally, RSVP coordinates a volunteer network of seniors who use their skills and talents to provide support to community agencies and address community needs through service.
