Red Shield Appeal Thank You Dinner - June 17, 2014

Over two weekends at the end of May, volunteers from The Couch joined many others in the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. Later, on June 17 at 6:00pm before The Couch opened, there was a thank you dinner and presentation up in The Temple.

As well as providing lots of tasty foods and snacks (the food was a real treat that night!) there were thank you talks from both Brendan Nottle and Lauren Cockerell. Afterwards, Lauren diligently wrote out certificates for everyone who had participated. All the volunteers were also given a voucher for a free meal from MacDonald’s as well!

After eating and collecting certificates, everyone headed down to The Couch at about 7:00pm, where it opened up as per a usual Tuesday night with Yoga and Spanish classes.
