Hello!

I'm Kim Richter.

I'm running in the 2011 Vancity Board of Directors Election.

I think Vancity is an amazing organization and I'm so very proud to be part of it.

Last year members of the Vancity Board of Directors made a bold move by proposing an increase in the annual remuneration provided to members who are elected to serve on the Board. There was heated discussion at the Annual General Meeting, but the proposal passed.

Unconditional random acts of kindness make the giver and the recipient feel good.

We have 4 more days to go before we deliver the socks to RainCity Housing!

So gather up your socks and send them down to the Vancity's Head Office at Terminal Avenue and Main Street by 20 December 2010! 

Sock it to us!

The first snow of 2010 came two days ago spreading across the Lower Mainland. Like many people, I was ecstatic to see the flurry whites. However, as happy as I can be, I am also reminded of many others who are currently homeless and houseless (as said by good o' George Carlin) who might have a lot more trouble this season if the predictions of a harsh winter come true - especially their feet.

Watching this video made me laugh, cry, swell up with appreciation for the beauty of the human heart and be extremely proud of my financial co-op, Vancity.
