TORONTO AWARD TO PATRICK ROBINSON!

Dear all

We would like to announce that our member Patrick Robinson, has been successfully nominated for the Toronto Volunteer Legacy Award

We were working with the Charity VOLUNTEER TORONTO and speaking to the City of Toronto and Mayors Office at the New Year and we were told we could nominate someone for the VOLUNTEER TORONTO LEGACY AWARD.

We know that there are many hardworking, committed and dedicated members of ERT SAR but we know as we had one nomination, in Toronto, who it would be.

As you all know Patrick Robinson has been a valued member for a little over 4 years and in that time achieved the attendance of someone twice the time. He is at most everything we do and also does a huge amount of work in our membership and administration of ERT SAR.

What a lot of people don’t know is that he also does this with an unwavering dedication, reliability and commitment whilst the other two members of his family have a lot of medical issues and also require his daily attention at home.

Not to get too personal but his weekly routine requires him to take his ailing mother to get regular blood transfusions as she is elderly and half blind and with other medical needs. And as well as spending time with his Daughter and her needs.

Yet he dedicates much time and expense of his own to the service of the team and what we do including supplying a lot of gear to the team, supporting the purchase of RESCUE 21 and even traveling to the UK team last year.

I think we can all join in and thank Patrick for all he does and congratulate him on this well-deserved award!

If anyone is available and would like to join us at the award on 19 April you may be able to attend for an event ticket donation of $20. There are not many available places but if you can come please let us know and sign up.

I have included a copy of their invitation below.

On behalf of our team and ourselves, THANK YOU PATRICK!
