Go Play is an indoor playground and family entertainment center. I hope to make it the number one family "place to be". My name is Katharine Moore. My husband and I have three amazing children; at the moment they are 14, 11, and 10. We live in Union, Kentucky. I am always seeking new and fun entertainment options for my children that will get them off the couch and in to the world. Over the years, I have often wished for an indoor playground nearby that my children would enjoy even during extreme weather times.
I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of South Carolina (2000) and a Juris Doctorate from Nova Southeastern University, Shepherd Broad Law Center (2004). After passing the South Carolina Bar in 2004, I started working in human resources and practicing real estate law. I worked outside the home until we started our family in 2009. Since then, I have been a mother and home manager. When we moved to Kentucky in 2010, I started a Meetup.com group for moms and children in the area called NKY Babies and Toddlers. When the Moms Club International group opened a chapter in Ft. Wright, Kentucky, I joined that group and the members of the NKY Babies and Toddlers Meetup merged with the Moms Club chapter. When my oldest son started elementary school, I started getting involved with the parent organization at the school. I held the treasurer position of the Erpenbeck Elementary Parent Teacher Student Organization in Florence, KY, for three years and then the treasurer position with Gray Middle School Parent Teacher Student Organization for three years. I now am the Social Chair at Gray Middle School and the Hospitality Chair at Ryle High School. I served with the Erpenbeck Elementary School Based Decision-Making council, the Boone County School District’s inaugural Ambassador Program, and the Boone County School District’s Portrait of A Graduate committee.
