OUR GROUP IS
READY.....ALWAYS READY TO LEND A HELPING HAND WHENEVER OR WHEREVER
IT'S NEEDED.
We
are here to provide volunteer services
in the our emergency hospital and long-term care facilities.
We raise funds to purchase much needed equipment for our emergency
staff in the hospital to diagnose, and treat, a large number of
patients who arrive daily seeking medical help.
 We
offer the 62
residents of the Hyland
Crest facility
social activities, entertainment, a hand to hold and an ear to
listen. We purchase equipment for adding comfort to the
residents, and as an aid to the staff. Many of our volunteers
visit with the residents on a regular basis.
We
have reached objectives to offer equipment to the Physiotherapy
Department, the Kitchen Staff and the
Maintenance
Division of both areas.
Our
members organize and man the Gift Shop located in the Hyland Crest
lobby.
Fund-raising
activities include a Canada Day and Christmas Raffle with exciting
prizes kindly donated by private citizens and local merchants. We
convene Fashion Shows, Bake Sales, a Bowlathon, Bonspiels and
organize tea parties and Christmas Bags for the resident's of
Hyland Crest.
