More Volunteer Appreciation! Summer Raffle Winners

As June wrapped up, Nancy and I gratefully looked towards what we thought would be a quiet and lazy summer here at LTS Guelph. Boy were we wrong!!

Our volunteers helped us run 15 activities in July. That represents 66 hours of volunteer time from 18 different volunteers (some volunteered more than once!) to reach over 220 kids in Guelph and 40 kids in far off Meaford!

In August, LTS reached an additional 190 youth by running 9 more activities, which would not have been possible without help from 15 different volunteers who contributed 46 hours of their time! Miyuki K was our superstar volunteer of the month, helping with 4 activities, including our Chemistry Magic Show partnership with Creative Encounters with Science and a Crime Lab activity at the Guelph Public Library. Kaitlin R and Maude P also get 4 stars for their partnership with CES and for developing a new workshop called Let's Talk Nutrition! Marlene P gets a huge thank you from me for volunteering to drive all the way up to Meaford to help me run Astronaut Academy at the Meaford Public Library!

This summer we implemented a new raffle for any volunteers who helped us run an activity.

* In July, Haley P won an OVC tote bag filled with stationary, a U of G reusable mug and an HP wireless mouse.

* In August, Li D won and OVC tote bag filled with stationary and a Cineplex 2-4-1 movie ticket.

Thanks everyone! And cheers to a new school year!
