Hi, my name is Debra. My first volunteering with Chilliwack Hospice Society was through my work at Scotiabank. Naturally, they got me to come and count money for big events! I think many of us has been touched by a personal experience through Cascade Centre, leaving a lasting memory of the kindness and care provided. Not only to our loved ones but ourselves as well. I now volunteer at the Thrift Store, which is fun, and rewarding to give back to the community. I consider them all my friends. As a good Girl Guide says…. make new friends but keep the old, one is silver the other gold.
I am a member of a local Theatre Company, The Chilliwack Players Guild, which takes up lots of my spare time, helping with everything from set construction, painting, props to producing and have occasionally been on stage! The Chilliwack Players Guild also volunteers at Hospice events, dressed up in our finest costumes, to help with what we call “Seating and Greeting”. I also sing with a group of friends; we like to sing acapella and have a fabulous leader who arranges music for us!
My husband and I have 2 kids, one who lives in Montreal and another who lives in Chilliwack.
