A few words about volunteers from the OSCC Staff:<br />
Not only do our volunteers share their time, they share their hearts.<br />
The wisdom of volunteers is the strength that helps us grow strong.<br />
How to make a volunteer:<br />
Add a bunch caring, and many kind words<br />
Add an ear to lend, and a lot of wisdom to be heard<br />
Add a heart of pure gold, and arms that hug tight<br />
Add sunshine and smiles and words of delight<br />
Add strength, kindness and a whole lot of love<br />
And a volunteer you’ll have our angels from above.<br />
Thank you for sharing & caring, we are proud and honoured to know each<br />
and everyone of you. This world does have a silver lining,<br />
