Yorkton's Tracy Malayney was thanked Saturday night for her role as the Kinsmen Foundation's outgoing Chair.
"Being the Chair of the Kinsmen Foundation is an incredible pleasure. It is an opportunity to lead some of Saskatchewan's finest volunteers doing some of the kindest work for Saskatchewan people," she says.
Malayney is a member of the Yorkton Kinettes and was first elected to the Kinsmen Foundation Board of Directors in 2009, where she represented Yorkton region applicants in their funding requests from the Foundation. Malayney notes, "Over the four years I have spent on the Board, we have assisted hundreds with funding for special needs equipment like scooters, lift systems, and van conversions. We have also ensured people who need to leave their home community for medical treatment, have travel money to get where they need to be. All our work is very necessary for the people that we help, and very rewarding to our volunteers to have the honour of doing so."
Malayney will have one more year on the Board before retiring.
Yorkton has both a Kinsmen and a Kinette Club that are active in the Community and are well known for carrying out the Kin motto "Serving the Community's Greatest Need". New members are always welcome.
"I am passionate about Kin and welcome people to call me about how they can become part of this fabulous organization." encourages Malayney
