Please allow me to express my deep appreciation and thanks to the following businesses because they go the extra mile in helping me care for my elderly father.
Vanty of Bow Lake Barber Shop, who keeps Dad looking nice. The girls at Vui Ve Nails for his foot care with a fabulous spa pedicure that is first class and includes hot towels that you only find in upscale salons. John of Aruba-J for his monthly massage at the Des Moines Senior Center. Albertson's and Fred Meyer stores in Burien because they provide electric carts that enable me to take Dad shopping.
I have known both Linda (Jones) Isernio and Kevin Fitz for many years. I respect their skills, leadership, and giving of time to the Burien Community. I applaud them for taking a leadership position at this difficult time.
They both have the skills to correct the wrongs of the previous leadership. Gone will be the days of secret meetings, and formulation of plans outside the public's eyesight. Members and non-members will be invited to participate, input will be encouraged.
Solutions will be sought. If you see a problem, you or I will be invited to fix the problem.
