or 37 years, Myrna Jones has generously volunteered with the Nicola Valley Health Care Auxiliary. Throughout her time as a volunteer she has filled many roles at the Nicola Valley Hospital and Health Centre and the Thrift Shop. Myrna’s most prominent role has been at the Thrift Shop, organizing the weekly window display.
Myrna has taken on this role for 35 years, always with great attention to detail. Her displays have brought many customers into the Thrift Shop. Looking back, Myrna has had many fond memories of her time with the Auxiliary. She had a few laughs at a provincial auxiliary conference, where her and a few members of the Auxiliary participated in a hay ride.
But little did they know that once attached to the wagon, the horse team would take off running, with the members in tow. Myrna loves spending time with her two daughters, three grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. Her sister and niece are also members of the Auxiliary and she enjoys volunteering with them.
What is your fondest memory of the Auxiliary? “I’ve loved the Auxiliary and I’ve always done the window. I just love doing it, because it’s for a good cause.”
What is your favourite thing about volunteering at the Thrift Shop? “Working with all the different people at the Thrift shop. I’ve always loved all the people I’ve worked with.”
