Employee Volunteering
Volunteer of the Month, April 2012:
Pam Penny,
Children's Party Committee
We would like to recognize Pam Penny for the outstanding contributions made by her over the last month on the McMaster Children’s Party Committee.
Pam has been a long standing member of the McMaster Children’s Party Committee and is currently serving as the Entertainment and Decoration Sub-Committee Chair. Although it’s early in the year, Pam has been very busy planning the entertainment acts that 500 children will enjoy on December 1. Pam’s experience shows in her ability to encourage collaboration and teamwork in others. Pam has been instrumental in problem solving new ways to make the party even better this year! It is obvious that Pam is passionate about volunteering and has done a wonderful job to foster relationships with current vendors that donate their time and services to the Party. We also appreciate Pam’s involvement on the United Way Committee as she represents McMaster’s retirees. Thank you, Pam for all your dedication and enthusiasm.
