Gerriann Donahue was honoured as the RDEK Electoral Area F volunteer of the Year for years of service in the Columbia Valley.
“Gerriann has taken on countless volunteer roles in the Valley over the years,” says RDEK Electoral Area F Director Susan Clovechok.
“She has been a valued member of the Friends of Invermere Public Library for the past decade, a long-serving member of the Board of Directors of the Invermere Seniors Association and has greeted Columbia Valley Rockies fans at the ticket table for over 15 years.”
She’s facilitated many programs for the senior’s organization including floor curling, scrapbooking, cribbage and poker among others.
“An especially inspiring initiative created by Gerriann has been the Inter-Generational Program, which allows Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 children from a local elementary school to spend a few valuable hours engaging and sharing educational and social time with RDEK seniors,” said Clovechok.
She was honoured at town hall meeting in Windermere.
