The highlight of the evening was the introduction of Sandra Donnelly as the recipient of the 2012 Fran Laflamme Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of long standing volunteerism to the community.

Councillor Waldroff provided an overview of her career as a volunteer in the community, starting as a volunteer many years ago with the Royal Canadian Legion Morrisburg Branch. She is also involved in numerous events and organizations, including the Cornwall and District Horticultural Society, maintenance of the Ingleside Cenotaph, Stormont County Fair Board and now as a member of the Board of Directors 2015 International Plowing Match. Sandra has spent 12 years with the Ingleside Fire Women’s Auxiliary and has served as President of the South Stormont Community Foundation. She is also an active member of the Lost Villages Historical Society and Friends of the Ingleside Library.

The Canadian Cancer Society has benefitted from her contributions for 10 years where she began as a volunteer doing whatever, and assisting whoever needed help. For the past number of years she has been Chair of the Ingleside Farran Park Relay for Life. This event has become one of the largest research fundraisers in Ontario. Under Sandra’s direction the 12 hour event comes together annually and continues to grow.

On behalf of staff and Council, congratulations Sandra!
