March 2017 Kudos - Joan Shannon
Kindness can be everywhere you look, and for this first Kindness Kudos, we didn’t have to look very far. We’re so proud to give this award to Joan Shannon, a longtime resident of Sedona, whose promise to a stranger 18 years ago will amaze, inspire, and give us hope. Against all odds, after seeing a Kosovo refugee and his son on a news story, she tracked down the family and brought them to Sedona. Nineteen years later, Sedona is still their home, because as they said “ Sedona is like a village, and everyone treated us like family”. And it all started with Joan, who opened her heart, wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer, and who brought a wonderful family to Sedona to be a part of our ‘village’.
