"I've lived in many places and have been privileged to serve so many people" she told the Citizen. Having written all her life, whether it be poetry, prose, articles for newspapers or sermons, Rev. Vollmer has also had two books published, "Reflections, To Ease the Pain" was published in 1991 and a year later "More Reflections" hit the book stands. Both books reflect on the pain and suffering she felt and observed while on the reservation. For the past twenty years, Rev.

Vollmer at various conferences in the past, Rev. LePage told the Citizen he's very pleased with# the committee's choice and is confident the congregations will be well looked after. Rev. Vollmer is looking forward to her three months in Port Perry. "If you go into any community and open yourself to receive, then more than likely these people will give back to you" she said.
