Yesterday I completed the volunteer and sponsor thank you letters, and it really made me realize just how important they both are. At the heart of the Auxiliary is a group of dedicated volunteers who give their energy and expertise in a wide variety of roles: volunteering in patient care areas, serving on committees, working on Auxiliary projects and committees, or driving fundraising activities. Since 1946, the IWK Auxiliary has given over $6.2 million to the IWK Health Centre. Members of the Auxiliary consist of people who care about the IWK Health Centre. The Auxiliary raises money to help the IWK provide better quality of care to its patients and provide items that are not funded by the government or other fundraising activities. The successes of the IWK Auxiliary highlight just how much volunteering your time can have a positive affect on someone’s life.
Sponsors have also joined the IWK Auxiliary in promoting the 2009 Kermesse by donating their services to the cause. The Halifax Herald has donated advertising space for the event. Premier Van Line has donated their vans for transporting the donated goods to be sold at the flea market. CompuCollege has donated the students from the PR and graphic design class, who have taken part in much of the media and design process. Clearwater has also been a long-standing sponsor for the IWK Auxiliary.
Again we thank the volunteers and sponsors for helping the IWK provide better quality of care to its patients.

Isn't that the truth? Volunteers are the heart and soul of any non-profit organization. Recongizing their efforts is as important -- maybe even more so -- than recognizing the work of employees.
