DECEMBER 2009: Kira Zylstra
formerly Sand Point Housing Liaison, currently King County HPRP (Homelessness Prevention & Rapid Re-housing Program) Coordinator

Congratulations to Kira Zylstra, Solid Ground’s December 2009 Employee of the Month! She recently changed positions at Solid Ground, but while with Sand Point Housing, Kira worked with various community partners to access the resources and goods beneficial to Sand Point residents. She also worked closely with the Sand Point Advisory Committee in preparing for Phase 2 Housing for the On Solid Ground at Sand Point Capital Campaign.

By contributing to the programming at Sand Point, helping put on functions and activities such as the annual Block Party with the Rotary Club, supervising volunteer work parties, managing donations for the resource room, and facilitating partner meetings, Kira has gone far above and beyond her job description. And Kira has always done these things with a smile on her face, and with a kind and gracious demeanor. You’ll be missed at Sand Point, Kira — and welcome to Housing Counseling!

Congratulations to Kira, and all employees nominated. Thank you all for the services you provide to our agency, co-workers and clients! We couldn’t do it without you!
