Margaret MacGee Award

This award is presented each year at our conference to a Block Parent volunteer who has continually provided exceptional long term service to the Block Parent Program. It is a very special award and is open to any Block Parent in Ontario who can meet the criteria.

If your Program has such a volunteer and you wish to recognize their efforts, please consider submitting their nomination. Think how nice it would be for that volunteer to be rewarded for their tireless work on behalf of our Program! Nominations are to be sent to Marg Rooke by March 15^th each year.

This year's recipient of the Margaret MacGee Volunteer Award is Laurie Melcher, OBPPI Public Relations Director. You can read more about Laurie on page 1 of our current newsletter.
