We hosted another Lunch & Learn on how to prepare for emergencies, with our Emergency Coordinator Barb Gillis. If you were not able to attend the presentation, information handouts are available in the office or visit getprepared.gc.ca for more information.
April also brought with it volunteer appreciation week! We have countless volunteers who help to keep things running smoothly. Our volunteers take on many important responsibilities including driving to appointments, meal delivery, attendance taking for programming, making & serving lunch, cleaning & organization, ticket taking at community events, sitting on our Senior Advisory Committee, planning & running our holiday market fundraiser, and so much more! We are so very grateful for the time these individuals give to help their community thrive. Thank you!
May 4-11th is “Let No One Be Alone” week. This issue will highlight the importance socialization plays in our overall well-being. In honor of this week, we encourage everyone to bring a friend or neighbor to lunch or a program this week! Lunch for newcomers is free! Lets take time to make sure those that are alone know that we care.
Take care,
Kristie & Margo
