Isabella Ferrara: our community depends on its volunteers…
I just wanted to say a few words about volunteering and in particular Isabella Ferrara (President of SAVI). Events like the SAVI Seniorsfest event noted in my earlier post do not happen on their own. They happen because of the effort of a great many volunteers.
Isabelle herself is a role model for the type of involvement we need to encourage in today’s world, so that we can enjoy more events like Seniorsfest that cross the age and the cultural divide. We are all one and the same, young and old, and whatever our culture and traditions we are not that different, after all is said and done.
A very good write up on Isabelle can be found in the Vaughan Citizen in a 25 October 2012 article.
Isabelle also came to Mosaic Home Care’s Resource Centre in May for a lunch and tour and was quite impressed by what we are offering to the community.
