Thank you Richard for adding this to the KIVAPedia ! If anyone can think of another item that still hasn't been mentioned, please let us know.  Here it is on the Kivapdeia:  http://www.kivapedia.org/index.php/Kiva_Friends#Kiva_Friends_Initiatives

That kiva friends page on the wiki looks great!  Is there anywhere on the wiki that kiva friends' gatherings are documented?  That might be another good thing to add.  I know there was one in Atlanta, and there was the kiva party in San Fran that several KFs attended.  I'm sure there will be many more in the future.  Would anyone like to add the list to kivapedia?  I don't know much about the gatherings, so all I could add is a topic heading, and I don't have an account yet anyway.  Would any kivapedians care to do the honors?
