Looks like a great fit!
We don’t have a torch to pass but we do have a well-loved shirt and we’re thrilled Deanne McRae will be wearing it and joining YANA as our new Community Relations Coordinator.
Deanne and Ocean Varney will work together for a couple weeks with Deanne starting in her full capacity at the end of May.
Welcome, Deanne! We’re so pleased you’re part of our team.
Big thanks to “our” Tech Guys who recently collected ipads for YANA and a huge shout-out to Bob Wells who traveled to our Vancouver apartments to ensure everything is fully functioning. Thanks for ensuring our families have the comforts of connection and entertainment!
Our gratitude to the Comox Valley Record for their creativity in developing Valley Vonka and their diligent coordination of this exciting, family-focused campaign.
