With a sharp vision and a deep love for her adopted community, Jille Katz Siler takes the reins of Cashiers Rotary.
Jillie Katz Siler
It’s hard to doubt destiny when someone like Jille Katz Siler, co-owner of Crossroad Custard and Cold Brew, serendipitously brings her talent and passion to the small mountain village of Cashiers.
Because she and her husband, Badge Siler, spent years in hospitality, they were hired as consultants for the planners of Happ’s Place. While here, they fell in love with the people and the region. Not long after, they made Cashiers their home.
Since 2020, Jille’s connected, if not rooted, to the local community, so much so, she is now the energetic president of Cashiers Rotary. Under her direction, the club is showing new vibrancy, increased attendance, and enthusiasm.
“I am very fortunate to be the new guy in town,” Jille says. “It feels good to have people be open to my ideas. Being awarded Rotary presidency is an honor. I have never experienced such a welcoming community like Cashiers.”
Jille is passionate about what Rotary can do during her term. “My business led me to the club. I look at Rotary as a way for me to bring more and more good into our community.”
You have to give Jille kudos for filling the missing enjoyment link in town – custard and creamy brews. She and her shop were the cherry-on-top-sweetness that the village needed, not only for sweet satisfaction, but for Jille’s driving force aimed at building community awareness. Her family shop’s success is part of her paying forward for Cashiers and the region.
Rotary Clubs provide their members, aka, people of action, a vehicle to develop leadership skills and good citizenship with other folks like-minded. The ice cream shop was not the only missing link for Cashiers. Jille and her husband, a powerhouse team, were part two of destiny’s gift.
