Troop continues to assist with the "coffee morning" which is held in Ridgedale Monday - Saturday every week in the "Seniors Centre", thus giving locals the opportunity to meet in mutual fellowship with one another and on 53 occasions this last quarter, the troop ran this event.

On 6 occasions during this quarter we helped sort items delivered to the Salvation Army Charity Store in the town of Tisdale. Proceeds raised were once again for local charities.

The Food Bank. - 6 times the troop ran the Tisdale Food Bank Distribution Centre.

On 20 occasions the troop collected food contributions from various stores in Tisdale and delivered them to the Food Distribution Centre for allocation.

Medical car - 8 times local residents were transported for medical appointments to and from the city of Saskatoon and the towns of Nipawin and Nanaimo.

Food catering duties were carried out 12 times for Ridgedale Pot Luck Supper/Annual Fall Supper; Sylvania Day Car Pancake Breakfast, Ratner Fall Supper, Nipawin Sellathon Day and Sylvania Theatre Annual Dinner.

18 volunteer duties were carried out at a local nursing home.

Our member with musical talent helped entertain at various Seniors Centres and Care Homes in the area on 5 occasions.

Helping Hands - during the quarter members carried out:
26 duties checking empty property and/or feeding pets in the absence of their owners;
4 duties at a local library;
7 occasions a member assisted staff at a local junior school with children who have reading difficulties.

Remembrance Day Service (11th November) - Members were again present at this annual service where we presented a wreath in memory of those who had given their all so that we might be free.
(See photos below).

On 5 occasions the troop "manned" the Salvation Army "Kettles" in Tisdale Co-op helping to collect money to purchase items for Christmas Hampers (food and toys) for the less fortunate in the community. (See photo's below).

Our last troop meeting prior to Christmas was followed by a Christmas dinner served with all the trimmings!! (See photo's below).

My goal is to bring like minded people closer together and it is that alone that makes our volunteering all worth while.

We look forward to continuing our volunteer duties in 2012.

God Guard Thee and All Who Serve.

Sir G. B. Metcalfe KGCIOM., MCM., AMM.
