Volunteer Opportunities
KCCFA Casino – February 24 and 25, Casino Calgary
Don’t wait any longer to sign up for this fun event! Positions include cashiers, chip runners and count
room volunteers with day and evening shifts available.
Camp Volunteers
Even though it is the middle of winter, believe it or not camp is around the corner! SunMaker,
SunRise, and our newest program SunSeeker (replaces SunMaker Extreme) are airing out the sleeping
bags to welcome our 2005 volunteers! Don’t miss the opportunity to get in touch with your inner
child this summer – we are looking for volunteers to share their talents, love of children and, most
importantly, their sense of fun!
Young Adult Conference
KCCFA is hosting our Young Adult Conference from February 17th to 20th, 2005 at the Sheraton
Cavalier NE in Calgary. The four day conference will explore personal development for ages 16 to 25
who have been affected by cancer. We are looking for oncology and registered nurses, conference
assistants and evening chaperones to provide assistance over the four days. Deadline to apply is
January 14th.
Interested in these opportunities or want to chat about other ways to get involved, contact Barb Smeltzer
at 403.216.9210 ext 222 or smeltzer@kidscancercare.ab.ca.
National Volunteer Week April 17 to 23, 2005
Across Canada, thousands of organizations rely on the constant commitment and dedication of
volunteers. National Volunteer Week is a wonderful way to publicly recognize our country’s 6.5
million volunteers who give of themselves in many ways.
At KCCFA we are keenly aware of the enormous value of our volunteers. Simply put, we could
not run our programs without volunteers contributing their time and talent. From leading camp
activities, to shaving heads, to organizing the
office...volunteers are the heart of this
organization. On behalf of the kids and
families who benefit from your support, thank
you!!
