Volunteer Profiles

Marjorie and Lynn C.

Marjorie and Lynn are a mother and daughter team who began to volunteer in November 1989. They chose to volunteer at Deer Lodge Centre because it's close to their home. They also have a fondness for veterans as many family members fought in WW1 and WW2 and have benefited from services at Deer Lodge Hospital. They began their volunteer activity by assisting with bingo, outings, special events and memorial services. 12 years later, they continue to assist with bingo programs on many units in the Centre, volunteering 2 to 5 days per week. They both enjoy their volunteer work because they find it very rewarding to give back to the community and to get to know our residents. Marjorie and Lynn have also established many long-lasting friendships with residents, staff and other volunteers. Lynn and Marjorie are one of many family units that volunteer together, a growing trend in Canada. Thank-you ladies for your dedication to the Centre.
