Highlighting a wonderful Local Guide - Kimmy

[PaulPavlinovich]

Kimmy's Raffle

There was one Local Guide at Connect Live who stood out for me. Plenty of people were helping the newcomers to town including Kimmy but this one took another step and held a monster raffle with a combination of Google swag and thousands of dollars of her own unused tech. All attendees were invited to enter and attend the drawing. I played the tiny part of moving boy and photographer. It was awesome to see all those happy faces of the recipients of the prizes. There was no cost to enter.

Thanks for the selfless act @KimberlyAnnG you're a treasure and a credit to how local Guides should be. You inspire me to make sure my actions as someone perceived to be a leader in our community benefit others before me.

Regards Paul

I fully share with you dear @PaulPavlinovich ! @KimberlyAnnG  it was and still is like a awesome Googler for me 🙂  (and maybe the last letter of the nick name the "G" is right for Google?) - - great page in Facebook too!
My only regret for this Connect 2018 was the impossibility to participate in one of your Photowalk !!

Bye,

David

Heck yes, @PaulPavlinovich! 

This is a wonderful observation of @KimberlyAnnG's contributions to the program extending beyond earning points - although I flew in late, I was happy to know that she led a couple of meet-ups for early arrivers for Connect Live, providing a great opportunity for them to meet each other and explore early on. The raffle was a fun event for the lounge and was such a generous thing for her to do. A true inspiration in many facets.

😭😭😭😭😭

My wonderful sweet friend @PaulPavlinovich you ARE the epitome of what a friend and moderator here should be.  

As an attendee at both your Epic Bike Ride AND your 36 Photowalk it should be mentioned that you brought Great Value to this event all on your own! 

Some of my favorite memories came from your Epic Bike Ride.That water bottle...

Valeria. Yasumi. Faraz, Julien and Paul!!!

I have lived here for 35 years and this is the first time that I have been to this point to take a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge... ON A BIKE!

You and I are motivated by the exact same things when it comes to our participation in Local Guides.

We love the people. We are happy to give of our time and anything else we can to ensure that those attending this amazing event have the experience they deserve! 

And while that may seem like a selfless act, there is actually a lot of personal enjoyment in doing that for both of us!  🥰🥰🥰

Every year, this event has gotten better.  I hope that I will have a chance to enjoy this company again.

💜💙💚❤️🧡💛

And thank you @KimberlyAnnG! You've been warm and welcoming from the beginning, and always helped us feel comfortable and safe. You have a pure heart and I'm happy that I had the honor of meeting you and spending great moments with you!

I hope we can meet again 🙂

@KimberlyAnnG stood out to throughout the event including the days before the Connect Live because she ever proved being a collaborator and very good local guide from San Francisco. She won our appreciation for her
