April 10, 2011 A Special Thank You to All of Our Dedicated Volunteers!
Thank You!
April 10th-16th is the 68th annual National Volunteer Week; a week devoted to thanking the 12.5 million volunteers across Canada.
The Children’s Foundation would like to thank the more than 700 volunteers involved in our programs for their dedication and generosity.
As a volunteer, you are an essential part of the success of the foundation. Whether you helped stuff envelopes or planned healthy breakfasts for students, all of the Children’s Foundation volunteers are greatly appreciated and needed.
"I had so much fun volunteering for GCVI's breakfast program, I loved meeting other volunteers and talking with the high school students. I felt like I got to help out and to be much more involved in my community!" Program Coordinator – Jessie McConnell
Without the help of our volunteers, children in Guelph and Wellington would not benefit from the amazing programs they help to run.
Thank you!
A pessimist, they say, sees a glass of water as being half empty;
an optimist sees the same glass as half full.
But a giving person sees a glass of water and starts looking for someone who might be thirsty.
