To whom it may concern:
I am writing regarding Karlene Khor seeking Kalispell City Council ward three position.
I became acquainted with Karlene when she was appointed to the kalispell city planning board.
I am one of the founders of sparrows Nest nw Montana (1 st licensed community residential facility
in the state of Montana for unaccompanied homeless high school students)
I was serving as Snnwmt board chairman at this time.
Sister Judy Lund St. Matthew's served on Snnwmt advisory board.
Snnwmt had a home in kalispell generously donated to us.
Snnwmt needed to work with kalispell city planning board to proceed with our renovation and gain
permission &guidelines for our project.
We thank Karlene for her support.
(Snnwmt has housed over 75 students since 2016 when our doors opened in kalispell!)
Karlene introduced snnwmt to various veterans groups in kalispell that aided snnwmt with many
needed projects.
Karlene is competent, caring, capable,fair minded and a strong advocate for kalispell and
community.
Thank you for your consideration.
With best wishes
Merry Christmas °' 2025
