ASSINIBOIA — Assiniboia knows its volunteers are valuable. That’s why the Town of Assiniboia sets aside a special event each year to acknowledge and thank those people who contribute to all avenues of the community.
Imagine hockey season without volunteers, or a local fundraising event, or benefitting from a service club’s infusion into the community without those volunteers.
This year’s theme is “Volunteers make waves.” Recognizing these important people in any community and the crucial role they play in strengthening your community, organizations, events and activities.
St. George’s Parish Hall will be the host venue on May 3 for a volunteer appreciation brunch. Volunteers can come for coffee and mingling at 9:30 a.m. with an official welcome at 10 a.m., followed by guest speaker, Jeanne Martinson. The program’s message is “How to have a happy volunteer experience.”
Complimentary tickets are available for pickup at the town office until April 30. To reserve your tickets on behalf of your organization, call Tina at 306-542-5003. The organizing committee is also looking for photos of volunteers over the past years to showcase on a slideshow. Consider adding a few sentences about the volunteers of your organization to accompany those photos.
Tina Dijkstra, finance/administration co-ordinator, and event organizer for the Town of Assiniboia, says, “National Volunteer Week takes place April 27 to May 3. The TOA is happy to welcome organizations and individual volunteers to attend this special recognition event.”
“The Town of Assiniboia is thrilled to acknowledge and honour every Assiniboia volunteer for their valuable contributions they make to enhance our community as together, we create ripples of change.”
