Declaration of Individual Making the Nomination
I declare that the information provided on this form is correct to the
best of my knowledge.
Which category does this nomination belong in?
Seniors & Youth
Type of Involvement - Describe the nature of the nominee's
volunteerism. Which organizations are they involved with?
Jennifer is a pillar of our community at South Ridge School. She is
active in Parent Council and runs our Food For Thought snack
program, which in itself is very time consuming and requires her to
coordinate deliveries, meal plan and coordinate other volunteers to
assist in preparation of the snack program daily. She is also a leader
of our local Sparks club which has over 20 active little girls to teach
and plan events for.
Type of Achievement - What contributions does the Nominee
make? Length of service?
Jennifer has been active in the community for many years and
continues to make a difference every day with the volunteer work
that she does within the school and the Tillsonburg community.
Level of Impact on the Community - How does the community
benefit from this Nominee's service?
Our community is very lucky to have a member like Jennifer helping
to enrich the lives of our children. Her assistance in running the snack
program ensures that every child at South Ridge school has at least
one healthy snack to eat at school.
The difference that she, and her guiding partners, make with our little
Sparks is incredible. They are helping to teach our girls how to
become strong, independent girls that can work in as a team and be
helpful, kind youths.
