"I believe that I have a lot to offer to the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre. I have volunteered within the Richmond community for over 30 years. I raised 2 daughters in Richmond, who are now 29 and 27 years old, so I am aware of the many struggles that face women. I would like to get involved with a worthy organization to give something back to the community."
