Our Fantastic Volunteers!

We've totaled the numbers and tallied the points, and concluded it was yet another fantastic year here at Let's Talk Science at the University of Guelph.

From July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013, our volunteers conducted over 130 activities and reached over 4100 youth. This amounts to over 1300 hours of volunteer time from our 96 active volunteers!

We'd like to tip our hats to all of our active volunteers, especially our top five volunteers, who volunteered the most number of hours to help reach out to youth in our communities.

1. Linda Jewell - 46 hours

2. Roman Kondra - 39.5 hours including 4 rural activities

3. Marshall Lindner - 36.5 hours including an amazing 8 rural activities!

4. Nick Jeffery - 35 hours

5. Larry Chen - 34.5 hours including 2 rural activities (and Larry only started volunteering in Jan!)

Thanks so much for everyone's help! There is absolutely no way we could make such a difference without y'all!

Cheers to a fantastic year!
And cheers to an even better one coming up!

Volunteer Appreciation Night!!

Hello all LTS volunteers!

You're cordially invited to join us on 

Thursday, June 20th at 6 pm in the Grad Lounge.

LTS will be providing a few platters of appies as well as handing out your volunteer certificates and some prizes in categories such as attending the volunteer appreciation event, completing a rural activity, volunteering more than the minimum 10 hours, or getting an activity evaluation filled out. We will also raffle off a few larger prizes so make sure your portal activity logs are completely up to date as I'll be tallying the numbers.

Even if you were too busy to volunteer this semester, please join us as this is a recognition of LTS volunteer efforts for the entire year! 

If you have a close friend or significant other who'd like to tag along, the more the merrier! But of course, I can't promise them a volunteering certificate ;-) 

This would be a great opportunity to convince them we're a fun and worthwhile group to join :-P

Thursday is also trivia night at the Grad Lounge so you're welcome to stay, celebrate your volunteering triumphs with us, share some stories, slake your thirst or satisfy your hunger and be part of an LTS trivia team.

Please RSVP by email if you're planning to attend so we know how much food to order, which certificates to bring, and most importantly, how many prizes and raffle tickets to get.

Hope to see you all on Thursday!
