Living In Faith In My Community
I have participated in several volunteer activities within my community. These activities allow me to give back to my community through love and goodness in spirit. Some of the activities are:
Christmas Lights and Carols
Our entire school staff participate in an annual Christmas event put on for the senior citizens in the town of Fairview. I participated by helping pick-up the seniors and then riding around the town of Fairview to look at the festive lights. When we arrived at the school I helped distribute refreshments and goodies. We then sang Christmas carols and visited with them. I then rode back with the seniors on the bus and returned them safely to their homes. It was a fun filled evening. I met many new people and it most definitely put me in a festive spirit,
Birthday Bags For The Food Bank
As a project for Lent we made Birthday Bags to donate to the local Food Bank. The bags have everything in them to throw a birthday party for a child, right down to the cake mix and icing. We also made a card to add to the bag for the deserving child, " Made with love from your friends at St. Thomas More School". The children felt close to this project since they could empathize with a child who could not celebrate a birthday.

Harvest Lodge Bingo
Twice this year I will have volunteered at the Harvest Lodge with
their BINGO games. There are various duties and responsibilities, such as, calling numbers, helping those in need of assistance, as well as, calling back BINGOs, passing out cards and giving out prizes. An excellent way to help others within my community.

Angel Hair Fundraiser (participant)
Fundraiser for Cancer Research (Calgary 2008). I participated by shaving my head and donating
my hair to Cancer. I was approached at the event and asked if I would be
interested in participating that evening by shaving my head. A group went
around and collected over $1500 in twenty minutes. It was my pleasure
to donate to such a worthy cause.

Providing Accommodations
I provided sleeping accommodations for volunteers who helped with the 2014 District Youth Rally held at St. Thomas More School. I met some lovely people from Grande Prairie and Rolla.
