Since
coming here in 1991 with her family, and husband of almost 25 years, this
honoree has given freely of her passion, dedication, loyalty and
persistence. The community can always
count on her to be there with a smile on her face, and a spark in her eye.
Kathy’s
reach is extremely large. She has been on the Board of Women Honoring Women of
Wisdom for 8 years, chairing the board of the event 6 years ago. She’s been on
the Kinderhaven Board of Directors for 4 years. Now, as Kinderhaven’s Volunteer
Coordinator, she uses her large network of friends to make sure they always have
enough volunteers for their everyday tutoring as well as for their large
fund-raising events. Also, she also keeps up the website and Facebook page for
the organization. Kathy runs the Selkirk Association of Realtors (SARS) Giving
Tree for 4 years after she joined and she quickly took it over three years ago.
The Giving Tree provides a meaningful Christmas for so many needy families in
our area. She has also coordinated the Zumba-thon Fundraiser for Community
Cancer Services for 3 years. This wonderful event combines her love of music
and dance, with a great cause. She spear-headed the event “Cash for Ashley,” an
event that helped raise roughly $40,000 for a 20 year-old local cancer victim.
Now
that the warm weather is returning, we all look forward to seeing this person
with her adorable little dog, walking around town between her volunteer
activities and her Zumba classes.
Please
join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Kathy Chambers
for being honored as the Volunteer of the Month and thanking her for all of her
contributions to our community. Kathy’s hard work has done a lot for many organizations
in our community. From the Greater Sandpoint Chamber, as well as the whole
community, Thank You!
