Applauding volunteer’s honor

Terry Walker’sfriends and colleagues at the YMCA of the Foothills applaud the Kiwanis Club for its selection of her as La Cañadan of the Year [“Volunteer honored for service,” March 29].

As you read, Terry is one busy lady. Not only does she serve our city, chamber and schools, Terry is an active volunteer at the Y. In 2009, Terry joined our board of directors, where she brought her professional knowledge about human resources to the team. In 2009, Terry became the secretary of the executive committee and in 2010 chaired the annual Community Support Campaign, where we raised $407,000 to support program and membership assistance for all who live in our community.

The Y and the city of La Cañada Flintridge are lucky to have Terry sharing her time and talents with us all.
