MEMBER STORIES
Anna Hunt-Binkley, Kelowna, British Columbia
Tell us about your ‘history’
I was born in Regina Saskatchewan, enjoyed my younger years between a small prairie town, Winnipeg, and Brandon. I graduated from the University of Manitoba first with a Bachelor of Nursing Degree and then a law degree. I married a Brandon boy and our three extra special sons were born there. We moved to B.C. in 1991 and currently I keep busy with various community organizations, my horses and family.
How long have you been a member of the Tiffany Circle and why did you join?
Several years ago, I was asked and agreed to chair a Kelowna Red Cross three million dollar Building for Humanity campaign. Chairing a fundraising effort requires immersing oneself in the organization and leading by example. When the Red Cross philanthropy staff understood my donation, she advised that it qualify me to become a Tiffany Circle member to which I replied what does that mean? A number of months later I was planning a trip to Virginia to visit an aunt and the same Red Cross staff person suggested I attend the US Tiffany Circle Washington summit, to meet some of the other Canadian TC members - the rest is history.
What inspires you?
Knowing that one person or one small act of kindness can truly make a difference in someone’s life.
Laura Isidean, Toronto, Ontario
Tell us about your ‘history’
I was born and raised in Montreal. I spent 20 years in the capital markets industry before moving on to my second act, which involves serving on non-profit boards and volunteering with international and community organizations. I now live in Toronto with my husband and beautiful tween daughter.
How long have you been a member of the Tiffany Circle and why did you join?
I joined 3 years ago after attending my first Anniversary event in Winnipeg at the invitation of another TC member (Jean Lam). I was already a Red Cross volunteer, so I saw this as an opportunity to deepen my commitment to the organization while joining a vibrant community of female philanthropy leaders.
What inspires you?
My 10-year old daughter – she is beautiful inside and out and inspires me to be a better person every day.
Sylvia Leong, Calgary, Alberta
Tell us about your ‘history’
My name is Sylvia Leong Bombeo, and I am a born-and-bred Calgarian. I have a background in earth sciences and currently work with geographic information systems for utilities. When I’m not wrestling with data and shouting at the cloud, I can be found walking or hiking with my husband and corgi in the great outdoors. I also do freelance photography and graphic design in my spare time as I love all things associated with the arts.
How long have you been a member of the Tiffany Circle and why did you join?
I support the Canadian Red Cross as it embodies all the principles I hold dear: helping others no matter what, and always rising to meet whatever challenges may befall us. I have been a local volunteer for about five years, first as a PDA Responder and now as an ERT Responder, and during that time I have met a very diverse group of inspiring people.
I read about the Tiffany Circle via a Red Cross newsletter and thought the idea of a group of women furthering their humanitarian mission through philanthropy was amazing. I am honoured to become a member and am excited to meet women leaders who share a passion for aiding those in need.
What was a magic moment for you in the last year?
It has been a very different year for us all, but I think my magic moment was more a culmination of many simple blissful moments such as enjoying my dog’s smile, taking in the sunshine during a quick break from work, exchanging conversations with people I meet on my walks, and of course getting to know and enjoy the company of Tiffany Circle members and staff!
