EDITOR;
It is great to see that volunteers are appreciated. I attended the volunteer appreciation supper put on by Marilyn with the Literacy group and Tania the Regional Sustainability co-ordinator on Tuesday, May 11, and have to say thank you, it was a great evening.
For me, the second part of the evening which included discussions of the problems facing all the groups in Taber that rely on volunteers and some possible solutions was very important. There was one strategic plan put forward that I totally feel is worthwhile pursuing.
Let’s put together a registration of all the groups in Taber, whether they be registered societies, adult or senior groups, youth groups, arts groups or our own heritage group with the Taber and District Museum Society. Many of those represented at the event gave me their contact information and I am willing to follow through with the beginnings of this plan, so I invite all groups in Taber to e-mail me your contact information and let’s see if we can get this going.  
Wouldn’t it be great to have a way of reaching out to all of Taber’s volunteers and say, “Hey, our group needs help to make a fundraising activity happen!” or “Look at what we have happening in the next few weeks or months!”  
Knowing about events is what makes it possible for us all to support each other. E-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
