Volunteers recognized for community service
Approximately 120 local volunteers in the Leamington community were recognized on Tuesday, September 28 at the Municipality of Leamington’s 2010 Volunteer Recognition Reception held at the Leamington Marina pavilion. Deputy Mayor Rob Schmidt was the evening’s master of ceremonies introducing representatives from 31 various service clubs, groups, organizations and committees that work throughout the year for the betterment of the community. A token gift cooler bag and Municipal lapel pin were given to each recipient from members of Leamington Council. During the evening the familiar sound of pagers went off, and Leamington firefighters were called away in true volunteer fashion to a call for service. The 2010 Service to the Community Award was presented to the Leamington Salvation Army. Captain Corvin Vincent and Food Bank Coordinator Jennifer Robinson were on hand to accept the award.

the town for a long time carrying out our mission – heart to God, hand to man,” said Captain Vincent. “This is where I call home now, and I love it here,” he added. The final award of the evening was the 2010 Citizen of the Year Award, which was presented to lifelong volunteer Margaret Ross.
Mrs. Ross has been a great role model for the younger generation as a teacher and counselor during her career and has worked with various groups including the Sun Parlour Nature Club, Leamington Horticultural Society, Leamington Hospital Auxiliary, United Church Women and more. She received a
