March 6, Pennywise – Kootenay Lake

Volunteer Recognition Event is back!
We see it every day - volunteers leading community activities,
solving community problems, lifting community spirits
and improving the overall quality of life where we live. These
people work hard, and deserve to be recognized for the work
they do weaving our communities together. After a three year
hiatus, the Slocan Valley Community Legacy Society (SVCLS)
is thrilled to once again be honouring valley volunteers at a
free celebration during National Volunteer Week in Canada,
April 16 – 23, 2023. The event is happening at the Vallican
Whole Community Centre on Sunday, April 23rd from 3:00
to 5:00 pm. Join us for an afternoon of tasty treats, great door
prizes, socializing with neighbours, and celebrating of the
power of volunteers!
“This is our fifth annual “Get Your Just Desserts”, says Val
Mayes, event coordinator and SVCLS board chair. “We were so
disappointed that we couldn’t hold the event for the last three
years, but now we are back and ready to host a great party!”
“We wish we had room for all the volunteers in the valley,
but there isn’t a hall with that much space!” she adds. With
over 90 non-profit groups, from firefighters to parent advisory
committees, from arts councils and historical societies to
trail-maintaining groups, from early childhood supporters to
seniors housing (and much more), there are so many dedicated
citizens giving their time and energy that the numbers
are really impressive. So instead, each group is invited to select
up to five deserving folks to send to the event. These could be
the group’s most active volunteers, or perhaps someone who
couldn’t make it last time. Valley residents are also encouraged
to suggest an individual, someone who volunteers informally
rather than as part of an organization.
The event is free to participants thanks to funding support
from CBT and the RDCK (Area H). Registering early is
strongly encouraged as space is limited. Send the name of the
organization and the five names of the guests to svcls.event@
gmail.com . The best part – the guests won’t have to do any
work! More information can be found on the website at www.
