1. How long have you been attending Women of Heart and where are you volunteering at Women of Heart? How did you decide to volunteer?
I have been attending Women of Heart since Sept 2006, six years. For the first five years, I volunteered as a coffee barista, setting up the coffee, tea, and food with Tannis. I have also helped with set up and take down of the chapel events. This fall semester I am at the check-in Kiosk and will soon be trained for the reception table. Volunteering is part of who I am, it was the natural thing to do.
2. Why is Women of Heart important to you?
Women of Heart is tremendously important to me. I have made many friends and enjoyed many stimulating classes and classmates. It has given me many opportunities for growth. I cannot imagine not coming to Women of heart; it is like my YMCA membership- I cannot imagine not having it.
3. How have you felt "A Touch with Kindness" at Women of Heart?
I feel a Touch with Kindness constantly. Beth invited me to Women of Heart in 2006, several months after I moved to Calgary. I did not know anyone, other than Beth and I am so glad I had the courage to come by myself. My heart thanks Beth all the time. And now I am getting to know that awesome lady-Verna! How blessed I am.
