Boggabri Multi Purpose Service volunteer appreciation morning tea

Residents at the Boggabri Multi Purpose service gathered in the activity room to thank the volunteers and share a delicious morning tea on Wednesday morning.

Boggabri Multi-Purpose Service Diversional Therapist, Lynda Furner organised the high tea for her volunteers.

Mrs Furner presented Noreen Boehm, Doris Donaldson and Lea Baldwin with certificates of appreciation and a small gift.

Mrs Boehm volunteers each Wednesday helping with group activities as well as special one-on-one activities/visits with the residents who cannot attend or who chose not to come into the activity room for activities and events.

Mrs Donaldson volunteers on Mondays and as the chief ‘bingo’ caller she attracts most of the residents into the activity room.

Ms Baldwin volunteers on Thursdays and being a good cook, helps the residents with making delicious morning tea and special occasions food.

Her chocolate brownies are very much in demand.

On other days, Mrs Furner organises activities such as craft, Aussie bingo, entertainment with the Gunnedah Singers, Boggabri Ukulele group, Gunnedah Uke-Alypts, celebration of special events such as Anzac Day, Mother’s Day, the Kings Birthday, Teddy Bears Picnic, Christmas activities, to name a few.

The residents were excited to have all three volunteers there at the same time and there were lots of stories, laughter and chatter which continued through until lunch time.
