The St. James Catholic Church hall was filled to the brim on Monday as staff from Northern Frontenac Community Services served up a roast beef dinner for over 100 volunteers who help the agency deliver services to disparate parts of Frontenac County on a daily basis.
This year the Volunteer of the Year award went to Bob Greer, who has been a volunteer driver for decades.
In describing Bob’s dedication, Gail Young, co-ordinator of Frontenac Transportation Services, referred to a ride Bob gave to a young man on Christmas day a couple of years ago. “He was supposed to drive him to Perth, but the young man wanted to get to Ottawa for Christmas with his family, so Bob took him all the way. He never says no.
After dinner the volunteers were entertained by Stephen and Debra Goodberry, a popular Neil Diamond and Elvis tribute act.
