Five dedicated volunteers at Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation were recognized for the outstanding work they have contributed to that organization over the past two decades. The five recipients were presented with Ontario Volunteer Service awards by the Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Immigration at the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston on June 28. Honoured were Darlene LeBarre (20 years), Doug Wood (10 years), Lois Kirkham (10 years), John Kirkham (15 years), and Dick Miller (15 years) and Dave Linton (10 years).
For David Linton of Sydenham, who has been volunteering for a total of 33 years and has worked with the SFCSC for the last 12 years as a driver, fundraiser, and as the float designer and maker, this particular award comes with a very special meaning. Ten years ago he accepted the same award posthumously for his father, a talented pianist who for years entertained seniors at various SFCSC events and fundraisers, and passed away at the age of 97.
