Volunteer of Distinction
Last year at the end of the year I was nominated for the Volunteer of Distinction award at the kids school.
Then last night I was fortunate enough to have Brian's mom babysit while Brian and I got all dressed up to attend a ceremony to be recognized at the board office.
It felt a little like a graduation ceremony.
I arrived and got the appointed paperwork. Then the principal and vice principal presented me with flowers, and the teacher I did most of the volunteering with gave me a small gift of appreciation.
This was followed by my name (as well as all the others from each school in the district) being read a loud as I walked across the stage and received a certificate and small gift. (Engraved pen).
Afterwards there was a reception and then Brian and I went out for a drink and some food at a local pub.
It was a fun night out.
