THE OAKVILLE BEAVER02 Wednesday, April 21, 1999 N om inations reflect volunteers' dedication (Continued from page B1) Oakville's Youth Volunteer of the Year Award went to Adam Houston, a dedicated 16-year-old hospital volun­ teer who aspires to become a doctor. The Grade 11 White Oaks Secondary School student job-shad­ owed his mom Libby Houston, an X- ray technician, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, and has since December 1997 devoted 350 hours of his spare time to delivering food trays, helping the nursing staff, filing, and helping to transport patients. Despite his young age, Houston showed maturity, responsibility and leadership qualities, and in July 1998 was named a Day Captain, dealing with volunteer issues as they arise during his shift. He also participates in Youth Volunteer Advisory Council activities. Houston is described as a "true gem" by his nominators, Luisa Pafundi, volun­ teer services assistant, and Fran Savelson, youth volunteer convenor, at Halton Healthcare Services' Oakville site. "I'd love to have a hospital career," he admits, adding his complete surprise at winning. "I never expected to win," he concludes. The only contender for the Youth award was Jennilee Dunwoody, a vol­ unteer with the YMCA's School Aged Child Care program at St. Dominic's School, logging over 100 hours in a lit­ tle over a year. A reliable and conscien­ tious worker, she implemented creative crafts and imaginative games for the before and after school program. The other nominees in the Adult cat­ egory, in no particular order, are: Janet Jones, a 32-year-member of the Oakville Symphony, and currently serving as vice-chair.

Jones is its liai­ son for the Downtown Experience, a network of 10 restaurants supporting the orchestra's theme 'Classical Music and Dining Together in Downtown Oakville." Garfield Stacey, fundraising chair for the Royal Canadian Legion, Oakville Branch 114.
