Community Volunteers

Jul 03, 2014

Our communities of Central Frontenac are very fortunate to have such dedicated and caring volunteers. Too many times we take their hard work for granted so as a citizen of this area I would like to say thank you to these people.

Just a few examples which we read about in the Frontenac News and get to witness first hand is the work of our wonderful volunteers such as the Relay for Life Committee; the people who help with Villages Beautiful and the folks who help with the local food bank. With the Relay for Life recently held in Parham, you had to be impressed with the leadership shown by Lesley Smith-Merrigan and her dedicated committee along with all the extra hard working volunteers. Then we have the Villages Beautiful folks who certainly make our communities even more pleasant with their picturesque flowers beds and flower pots that are enjoyed by all.

Because I live in Mountain Grove a special shout out to the "green thumb" contributors past and present, Sharon MacMunn and Arlene Uens.

Our local food bank must take a lot of work and again thanks to these folks who help make life a little easier for others. Now I know one could continue to write about other volunteers groups that are also so important but I will leave that for someone else to pick up from here. So “Thank you” to all who make a difference and really know how to show pride and commitment, along with embracing such great community spirit that truly thrives in Central Frontenac!
