Louise Dunn Area C Volunteer of the Year
Congratulations to Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Electoral Area C Volunteer of the Year, Louise Dunn.
Louise is a passionate quilter who donates many of her quilts to help raise money for others including the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Gift Shop, her father’s seniors home and the Go Go Grannies. She and her friends have also crafted quilts to quietly give to others in need – for example, a couple who had been in a car accident.
Louise has volunteered for Meals on Wheels for the last eight years, delivering to 12 to 15 people. Each year at Christmas she makes something special for each of the people to whom she delivers a meal.
One year the gift was grocery bags, another year she made a Christmas runner for each of their tables. Last year she made each one a lap quilt, which is about 40 x50 inches in size. Louise is an example of those special individuals quietly giving to help make our community a caring community.
Congratulations Louise — and thank you for all you do!
