First Volunteer Fair was a great success

Dear editor, The people of St. John's United Church recently hosted their first Volunteer Fair. We had 25 agencies exhibit and almost 200 prospective volunteers, many of them young people. In the words of one exhibitor, Marlene Beitz of Links2Care: "The best part of the day was to network with other community groups and get to know other volunteer co-ordinators in our sector. We often need to work together to create a synergy where more can be accomplished. Interest from potential volunteers was a bonus! I left feeling very good about the work that we do, and the interest that so many share in serving our community." Thank you to all who attended. It was our pleasure to encourage others to help our community! Nora Lipp, St. John's United Church
