On Sept. 14 local Victorian Order of Nurse’s (VON) staff hosted a dinner at the Wellington Museum and Archives to celebrate their volunteers and recognize the contribution they make to the community service programs that support seniors and adults living with physical disabilities in the community.
Volunteers from all programs gathered, shared a meal and joined in recognizing those volunteers who had reached milestones witt the organization.
Volunteers who have served for five, 10, 15 and 25 years were all celebrated.
The evening was also attended by Alyson Isles and Megan Macdonald, Miss Midwest 2017-18 and Ontario Little Miss Princess.
