Celebrating Lynn Valley is just about our favourite thing to do. Doing it with good people is even better. Our Acts Of Kindness contest with our partner Romer’s Kitchen Lynn Valley makes it even better. We feel pretty lucky each day we open up a nomination for our AOK award.
Above and beyond
Carol Williams is the most dedicated volunteer supporting Girl Guides in our Lynn Valley community. She dedicates countless hours to planning fun and creative activities for our kids and always does it with a smile. On top all the organizing, she’ll also goes above and beyond to bake hundreds of beautifully decorated cookies to gift to each girl as a treat. Beyond supporting the district she has also offered to be the treasurer for a small group of Pathfinders traveling to the UK this summer. She didn’t have to do that but recognized a struggle and offered her help. She is the kindest, most amazing woman that is so deserving of being recognized and rewarded! Thank you.
We are glad you are a part of our community.
Good deeds, good eats
That is the Lynn Valley we see too. The future is bright with small acts of daily kindness that make this community warm and a place where people still say hello to strangers walking down the street. Thinking about our own experiences and the couple of LVL team members who live close to Argyle: we have had students offer to carry in groceries, hold the hands of a busy toddler while their baby sibling is put into their car seat, show up to clear flood debris, rake leaves and shovel snow. We know negative news is noisy but there is plenty of good to get loud about.
Romer’s Fresh Kitchen and Bar and LynnValleyLife want to acknowledge more AOK Good Deeds with Good Eats in the months to come. Nominate anyone who lives or works in Lynn Valley here.
It’s fitting that Bragg, our last Good Neighbour is our first nominator for AOK, wants to share how Rosemary Tapp makes her days better.
“I stopped to talk to Rosemary Tapp last year for the first time while out for a walk and she was raking leaves in her garden. The next day, and the Christmas season fast approaching, she appeared with the most beautiful wreath that she had made for my front door. From that time on she has brought me beautiful bouquets of flowers from her exquisite garden, to lift my spirits as she knows my love of flowers. She has done many acts of kindness since I stopped by that day last year. Such a kind sweet caring person, she has brightened many a day for me during this very difficult year. She just recently turned up with a care package of comfort food and it just happened to be at a time when I needed a hug.
It is not just me that she does these good things for, she is just one of those generous souls that just makes this a better place to be.”
