We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors, the Staff and Membership of Heritage Credit Union for all the support they have given Kootenay Columbia Seniors Housing Coop over the years.
Your recent donation of $25,000.00 towards the Grandview Manor CommunityAccess Room was timely because Construction will start in the near future. We also thank you for the moral support you have given us as we embark on the realization of our vision.
We take strength from the Cooperative Spirit that animates us both. We are happy to mention our partnerships at every opportunity.
Sincerely,Irene Evanoff,President, KCSHC
