EUROA Health was pleased to host 34 of their wonderful volunteers who contribute across the service, at the Euroa Croquet Club last week. Volunteers included those giving their time and energy to GraniteHill Aged Care, Community Services, and the Bowerbird Op Shop. Operations manager Jane Garret said the celebration was a heartfelt acknowledgment of the significant differences these volunteers make in the lives of those they serve and their ongoing commitment to Euroa Health. "Throughout the organisation, volunteers provide assistance in many ways, but above all, we recognise the positive impact on the volunteers' own health and wellbeing, which is just as important, along with the strong connections they help foster in the community," Ms Garret said. The volunteer program at Euroa Health continues to grow, as volunteers share their skills and knowledge which creates more opportunity, especially at GraniteHill Aged Care whether it is the upkeep of the refurbished library or hands-on projects with the Euroa Men's Shed. Bernice McKinn from the Euroa Croquet Club said the event was also successful at showcasing croquet. "The night was a fantastic opportunity, with some guests eager to return and learn more about the game and the club," Ms McKinn said. The club's volunteers were on hand to teach groups of 4-6 people how to play in a relaxed atmosphere, while Euroa Health ensured that food and drinks were served to keep everyone's energy levels up. If you are thinking about volunteering at Euroa Health, the most important question we ask is "what interest and hobbies can you share with us?" This approach ensures that we can continuously create new opportunities, rather than simply fitting a person into an existing program.
