On behalf of all the volunteers at Eastside Community Aid Thrift Shop, we would like to thank the wonderful people of Kirkland who voted our shop the Best of Kirkland 2011 in the Community Volunteer category.

We were genuinely surprised and touched by the honor. We thank all our wonderful customers and our community for their continued donations and support.

Together we are making a positive difference in the lives of people on the Eastside.

Jody Orbits, president
