Chocolate and the knowledge that you’re helping save the world - what more could a Project Porchlight volunteer want? A gift certificate to RONA [1] couldn’t hurt.

We celebrated with dozens of our Regina volunteers today at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Local singer/songwriter Brandy Moore provided the entertainment, and we were also joined by Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco, SaskPower Eneraction [2] representative Rebecca Fissel and Saskatchewan Campaign Manager Patricia Crowe.

Once all our volunteers were acknowledged and thanked, Project Porchlight Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator, Kelsie Yates, made a special presentation to 10 volunteers for their outstanding contributions. Kelsie gave each of them a Volunteer Appreciation Certificate, as well as a gift package that included Second Cup [3] coffee mugs, chocolate and hot chocolate, and a gift certificate for RONA [4].

For those of you who couldn’t make the event, our top 10 volunteers in Regina are (drum roll…):

1. Carol Croziel-Smith – Most Bulbs Delivered by One Volunteer
2. Larry Gall – Most Active Community Involvement
3. Phillipe Leclerc – Most Personable Volunteer
4. Scouts Canada [5] – First Group Involvement
