Next we want to thank all of the volunteers that spent their Saturday afternoon helping us out at the Recovery Awareness Event!
First, we want to thank the Financial Plus Credit Union in Ottawa! The Community Relations Coordinator reached out to us prior to our Recovery Awareness Event to offer staff to come and volunteer. The individuals showed up on Saturday ready to work, and they were such a huge help in running the event! They were willing to go wherever they were needed and worked through the heat to keep the event running smoothly! We are incredibly grateful for this organization supporting us and the cause of Recovery Awareness, and we cannot thank you enough for your help! Your kindness does not go unnoticed!💜
We also want to give a special shoutout to 2 individuals who played a vital role in helping this event come together: Beth Sheppard & Renie Rathbun. These individuals helped in many areas of the planning, gained the majority of the raffle basket donations, including multiple of their own, as well as helped volunteer on the day of the event. They offered advice and assistance wherever they were needed. We are incredibly grateful to them for their hard work and continued support!💜
Another shoutout we want to give is to Officer Brian Zebron for taking time out of his busy day to come and get dunked in the Dunk Tank! You made so many kids' days! Nothing better than dunkin' the Po-Po! We'll see you next year!👮😆
Lastly, we want to thank all of the family & friends, our staff, and our residents for helping in every way they could. From setting up, to minding the grill, snow cones, and popcorn, collecting the money at the raffle table, and so much more. We could not have done it without everyone that came and dedicated their time to making the day as successful as it could be in celebrating Recovery!💜
