Congratulations Jackie!
Above & Beyond Award
Since joining the board three years ago, Jackie has been a breath of fresh air for Winakwa Community Centre. Her dedication and innovative ideas have mad significant impact.
Initially involved in the Stay & Play program, Jackie quickly became the shared soccer coordinator. She demonstrated her commitment to kids and parents through her crafts and face painting organization at the annual Winakwa Winter Carnival.
She also launched the Friday night Winakwa Craft Club crafting program, providing adults with a much-needed opportunity for socialization and creativity. Her initiative in running painting nights, and other activities showcases her constant pursuit of new ways to engage the community.
Winakwa is incredibly grateful for all she does, embodying the sprit of an Above and Beyond volunteer.
Thank you, Jackie!
