(From the March 2005 Newsletter)
Valerie has been a member of SVPP for two years and has been an active volunteer with three of our investees. Valerie took over the Lead role at the B&GC following the team's successful project management of completion/opening of the first Kids Café at Wattles. The team is now responsible for project managing the construction and completion of the Kids Café at Blazers B&GC (to replace a current, outmoded operation) and the Hillsboro Kids Café, expected to start in late 2005.
Valerie is a member of three committees for Metropolitan Family Service. The latest is the loan committee for the new MFS "Ways to Work" program, the first effort in Oregon to implement a program to address the transportation and related needs of low income working families with children. In addition, Valerie volunteers on an as needed basis in the pharmacy for the Free Clinic of SW Washington.
Now retired from her career in the corporate banking world, Valerie finds these activities extremely rewarding. With the "hands on" involvement, she has developed a significant new appreciation for the quality of SVPP investments, and the never ending care and dedication exhibited by the management, staff, and volunteers of the investees.
