The end of June is always a time for celebration in schools. And Major B is no exception. There are class parties, school trips and graduation ceremonies. And for the Wish Closet volunteers, there is the appreciation night. Betty provides pizza, certificates, gifts of appreciation and accolades galore. This dedicated group of volunteers work tirelessly through the year, and this is just one way for the Wish Closet creator to give back.
The first round of recognition and thanks were for the staff who work hard to support this the Wish Closet and all that this program has to offer to the community.

Mrs Comeau
The Mayor of Major B

And then it was time for the long service volunteeers:
Audra, our Dungeon Master keeps the myriads of donations flowing from the sorting room to the Wish Closet racks. Her organizational skills keep things moving.
Heather assists with the workload in the Dungeon (our pet name for the sorting room) whenever Audra, her daughter, needs a hand.
And we could never forget the "shift" volunteers: Monday Night Shift, Wednesday Morning Shift, Wednesday Night Shift and Thursday Morning Shift. These are the volunteers who work week after week to fulfill wishes, help people make a fresh start in their lives, prepare for new babies, dress up new grads and help in whatever way they can to keep the Wish Closet clean, organized and running smoothly.
Thank you everyone for another very successful year. As a team, we have made a difference in the lives of over 2500 people this year. Enjoy your summer and we will see you again in September.
