On November 20, 2008, we hosted our 3rd Annual World of Difference Lunch at the City Club in downtown San Francisco. At the event, over 200 guests heard inspirational stories from our clients (including Richard Bakheit, pictured to the left), enjoyed a traditional Burmese dance performance, and learned about the successful programs RT offers throughout the Bay Area. Many also met some of our inspiring clients, staff, directors and volunteers, who inspire us to continue this important work. The event was a wonderful celebration of RT's progress and vision, and we thank all of our generous supporters who made this year's event our most successful yet. On behalf of our clients, we are very thankful for the continued support of RT! For more photos from the event, please visit our album.

 

Laura Vaudreuil, our Executive Director since 2003, is the proud new mother of Samantha Jaqueline Vaudreuil Pedigo, born December 16. While Laura is out on maternity leave, long-time RT volunteer, board member, and consultant Tenley Harrison is honored to fill in as Interim ED.

 

With strengthened financial position, RT has been able to expand its staff and services for clients. In the latter part of 2008, we welcomed Grace Lau, Program Associate; Elsa Amboy, Volunteer Coordinator for the South Bay; Nandi Kyaw Min, Family Advocate for the South Bay; and Lauren Markam, Volunteer Coordinator.

Long-time employee and Volunteer Coordinator Muhamed Tokmic left his position at RT at the end of November in order to return to Bosnia. We want to thank Muhamed for his 8 years of hard work, dedication, and humor, and wish him the best of luck in his new adventures!
