Community Volunteers Working Together

The Fenelon Falls Seniors Club was thrilled to be able to hire a volunteer recruiter/coordinator having received grant money, and Verda Gross has been hired to fill the position. Many of you involved with the club will already know Verda, she has been a volunteer and active member of the club now for some years. She perfectly understands the importance of volunteers and the wellness aspect of those who fill the positions. Organizations and individuals enjoy the physical, mental, and social health, wellbeing and feelings of accomplishment involved with volunteering. Verda has embraced her role wholeheartedly by reaching out to individuals and businesses as she puts together a calendar of events for all to enjoy. These events of course require volunteers, and she would be grateful to talk to anyone interested in becoming involved in any capacity with the club.

A Food Handling Certification Course has been arranged between the Health Unit and the Seniors Club. Verda has arranged for this course to take place at the club on Thursday September 21st from 9 to 4. Pre-registration is required by September 11th. Although this course is open to all, in recognition of the important role volunteers play in our society the $40.00 fee for the course will be waived to any volunteer who provides us with a letter from an organization they are currently volunteering with. Lunch will be served at a cost of $10.00 per person for non seniors club members, free for FFSC members.

To talk to Verda about becoming a club member, volunteering or to pre-register for the course please call 705-887-7007 or email fenelonseniors@gmail.com
