| Shanti Executive Director Kevin Burns has announced his resignation. |
Saying he loves his job but "it's time to move on," the executive director of Shanti, a San Francisco agency that offers services to people with life-threatening illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and breast cancer, last week announced his resignation.
Kevin Burns, who started volunteering with the agency 20 years ago after seeing people in his "chosen family" die from AIDS, announced his intentions to the board of directors earlier this month. He had been executive director more than three years.

Shanti, the 33-year-old nonprofit based in San Francisco, held its fundraiser, “Embracing Wellness Gala,” in Fort Mason’s Golden Gate Room on May 31. It featured mistresses of ceremonies Connie Champagne and Anita Cocktail accompanied by the Twilight Vixen Revue, all serving up an evening of comedy and fiery wit. There was also jazz piano music by former Apprentice contestant turned composer and musician, Tim Urban.
Shanti’s programs target San Francisco’s most at-risk women and men – the underserved. With a dedicated, highly professional staff of 35 and over 175 active volunteers supporting over 1,600 men and women each year, Shanti cannot provide its services without generous support from its donors. Eighty-five cents of every donor dollar goes directly to support these programs.

THE SHANTI Project is looking for a few good volunteers. Shanti is always looking for people to provide companionship and support for those with AIDS.
Now Shanti is looking for everyone who ever worked as a volunteer, as part of a reunion and fund-raiser on Saturday, May 30.
That's about 4,000 people who worked with HIV patients during the plague years from 1981 to the present. If you're one of those volunteers, or you just want to have fun with interesting people, see the bottom of this column.
Jean-Louis Huot, a purchasing agent at University Arts in Palo Alto and Shanti volunteer for 12 years, describes Shanti as "a congregation of saints."
