Throughout our history, volunteers have been the lifeblood of the Epilepsy Association of Calgary. It is through the participation and dedication of volunteers, that we have been able to provide programs in the community for the past 50 years. Training orientation is both agency and job specific. Volunteer positions include: Office Assistant, Public Education Speaker, Casino Volunteer, Penguin Mascot, Education Displays, Special Events/Revenue Generation, and our Penguin Mascot - Echo. Some opportunities are ongoing, while others are on call or occasional. Volunteers may participate in any or all activities for which they have the time and interest in pursuing. The Epilepsy Association of Calgary is a member of Volunteer Calgary.
If you are interested in doing "great things" with us, please contact Melanie for more information by calling 230-2764, or by e-mail to epilepsy.mburnell@telus.net.

Volunteer Thanks
We're happy to say that our ranks now include a few "little people" (aka children)... and a few cuddly canines. Welcome new volunteers Nad, Ramsey and Sarah... who are all under 12 years old! Good things really do come in small packages! Nad and Ramsey did an AWESOME job selling chocolate penguins and bracelets at the Farmer's Market. Sarah sold pop at one of the Sobeys BBQs. Look out Britney... we've found the new "Queen of Pop"!
A huge thank you to all the office volunteers who phone and mail out reminders and invites, send out literature, and do a million other things that help make this place run more smoothly!
Our thanks to the Wild Rose Foundation for making our Volunteer Program possible!
We extend THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE to all new and continuing volunteers who have lent their enthusiasm during the past several months!
