After reading The Beachcomber, I realize what an extraordinary community I live in. We have so many good things to offer, and every once in a while we hit some snags. With all the angst concerning the Vashon Park District, buildings that fit or don’t fit our historical sense, rumble strips that help or deter, I was happy to see the article and editorial regarding Vashon Community Care.

This is one organization that continues to give to our Island and those in need. I think VCC has been and will continue to be an organization that we can support and be proud of. Their board is responsive and responsible, caring and fiscally astute. Their budget is lean, yet they continue to take care of all who need their help. Our community has come to their aid in the past, and I encourage all to do so now.

Please support them in their refinancing effort by sending them a check, no matter how big or how small. The community will be the beneficiary.
