‘Thumbs Up’ to a tireless worker Hi Peter and MaryAnn. I just wanted to thank Focus on Scugog again for all the support you provided to our Heart & Stroke “Person to Person Campaign” in Scugog Township this year. I was pleasantly surprised to find our total was over $24,000. We were short of our goal, but the volunteers who joined the team gave their best effort and collected this amazing amount. I want to give a ‘Thumbs Up’ to Dorothy Gibson who has been volunteering for The Heart & Stroke Foun- dation of Ontario in Scugog Township for more than 35 years. Every year she organizes the campaign. Beginning in October she picks up materials from the Whitby office and finds captains for many of the 30 areas in Scugog Township. She prepares the 200 canvassers’ kits and hosts meetings for the Zone Leaders and Heart & Stroke staff. If she can’t find a captain for a certain area then she takes on that role. Dorothy canvasses too. When February is over she continues working col- lecting the kits, banking the money and writing reports. Finally Dorothy hosts a “Thank You Tea” for the captains, where we share the results of the campaign. At this time Dorothy also gives out “Years of Service Pins” based on her records, which she updates annually. It is a pleasure working beside Dorothy. She puts her heart into it.

That’s a grand total of $1830.17 going directly to the Scugog Memorial Library Children’s and Teen Section! A special thanks also to our two main sponsors: Vos’ Independent (ribbon sponsor) and Cakes by Stephanie (cupcakes for all). Additional thanks to our esteemed hat judges (Mayor Mercier, Amy Caughlin and Birgitta MacLeod), Kenna Kozak at the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, DJ Clint Killeen, Irv Gibson, Tim at Scugog Lumber and Dave at the Canadian Legion.
