On Wednesday, April 30, we celebrated our volunteers with a special brunch.
Instead of helping serve in the drop-in, they were able to sit down while we served them. We presented them with special volunteer T-shirts and “Saintly” certificates in honour of their special gifts.
Notable certificates included the St. Lawrence Award, presented to John and Yvonne Tait for their dedication to cooking and jokes. (St. Lawrence is the patron saint of cooks and comedians because, while being roasted alive, he is reported to have said, “Turn me over—I’m done on this side.”)
