3. We can’t thank our volunteers enough for all their
time, energy and thousands of volunteer hours, but
everyone gets tired and, eventually, we all retire
from volunteering. Recruitment needs our full
attention and energy to keep our amazing
Association flourishing.
If you have a few hours to help us with our special
events or any of the GWSA activities, please contact
me. My card is at the front counter with my email
and phone number and I’m in the boardroom on
Mondays. Drop by and we can chat about your
interests.
The GWSA can provide you with all the answers
to your volunteer questions, and if you’re ready to
join our Volunteer Team, we'll connect you with
Kristen who will explain a few of the health and
safety in-service requirements. Kristen is energetic,
approachable and eager to help the GWSA - it’s a
win-win. Please don't delay, join our Volunteers
right away!!

In closing, take care of your heart every day and it
will take care of you. Bundle up and try to get outside
for a walk if you’re able. The Walking Group is
a great place to start. Call Brenda and Bob Langham
for more information on their Group. If you can’t
walk outside, walk inside at the West End Centre, or
come here and do something different like Line
Dancing, Pickle Ball, Snooker, Badminton, Shuffle
Board, Seniors Saturday Night Skating at Exhibition
Arena, Crafts, Board Games, or stop by on a Monday
for an old-fashioned heart to heart chat with me
about the GWSA.
All the GWSA Activity Groups and contact information
is listed in the Sentinel every month.
Bring a friend and try something different; it’s
good for the heart .
