A couple more of our greatest volunteers ever (Board member Mary Gowan) along with (volunteer Margaret Head) joined Robin this morning over at a local Tim Hortons. Mary, a former school teacher helps us out with the Smile Cookie event every year and helps direct some of the funds to pay for snack pack food items so that we can maintain our kids snack programme every year. Please keep up the good work everyone! Buy a Smile Cookie from Tim Hortons this week to help out families in Burlington.
