April Smith of AHA MEDIA is proud to be part of Pivot Foundation Board of Directors!
Below is a letter written by John Richardson, Executive Director of Pivot Legal Society
Dear April,
I am writing to congratulate you on your successful nomination to the Pivot Foundation Board of Directors!
We are all very excited to work with you, thank you very much for putting your name forward. We received a phenomenal list of nominees, and it was extremely hard to narrow it down. But what a final board! Each of the new directors is a leader in their field and their community, with tons of organizing experience and wide-ranging personal networks, and we are EXTREMELY curious and excited to see what will happen when you join forces with the goal of promoting social justice.
Our First Get-Together: Sunday, July 12, 2009
Our first get-together is going to more fun than work. You are warmly invited to Pivot Potluck in Wonderland, this coming Sunday, July 12, 2009. This will be a great chance to meet the other new directors, Pivot staff, interns and volunteers, and some of the thousands of Pivot supporters and donors. This is also where we will be formally announcing the new board of Pivot Foundation directors, so it would be great to have you there to take a bow!
I look forward to seeing you soon! In the meantime, I would like to invite you to join our Facebook Group, and start following us on twitter: @pivot_housing | @hopeinshadows | @kiwipaul @pwrinch

Sun Eagles, last year called ( Dream Catchers) just came back from Toronto’s Homeless Street Soccer World Cup and are rebuilding again after unsuccessfully defending their National Championship where they won Gold last year.
The team known as the Dream Catchers renamed the Sun Eagles will now build on this defeat with an eye for recapturing the championship.
Their dream is to make the Sun Eagles soar again and bring Homeless Street Soccer World Cup to Vancouver to host!
