Club & Walden Youth For Youth Clean-Up Old Creighton Rd!
The Walden Lions Club members & the
Walden Youth For Youth made a great Team on April 22!
We completed the Old Creighton Rd
Clean-up- picking up 30 bags of garbage - among
other things like a gas tank!
We would like to thank Councilor
Barbeau for the pizzas!
Now the Old Creighton Road
looks much better. We hope the people of Lively appreciate it.

Walden Youth for Youth Are Going
Full Force!
During March & April our WYFYC youth will be busy with preparation of
resumes and cover letters, daily job searches and practicing interview
skills in anticipation of summer employment. 2009, 2010 volunteer
experiences by many of our youth at WYFYC not only has helped our
community but it can also be included on their resumes: fundraising for
the Lion’s Club Christmas Telethon, our Shoveling for Seniors Program
and helping at the Walden Winter Carnival, etc.
“…We would like to take this time to thank our youth for their
generosity and enthusiasm while they are out in the community donating
their time to such great causes. We are proud of each and every one!”
June Epple , Susi Knezaurek, Coordinators- Walden Youth for Youth Centre
Walden Youth for Youth has
had a very busy winter season thus far. They have been involved with
fundraising for the local Lion’s Club Christmas Telethon and raised
$400.30 in their second year of support. They were pleased to travel in
the Mayor’s bus to deliver their donation on Telethon Night, thanks to
Councillor Jacques Barbeau.
The Walden Youth adopted 10 grandparents for the Christmas season and
treated them with chocolate drizzled spoons, hot chocolate and candy
canes. They presented the Christmas treats in Christmas Mugs wrapped
nicely in cellophane and ribbons.
Councillor Barbeau treated the Walden Youth group with a special
Christmas dinner and came in to surprise them with chocolate treats! A
huge thank you goes to Councillor Barbeau from the teens at the Walden
Youth for Youth Centre for his continued support in all of their
endeavors.
Several youth from Walden Youth for Youth have had the fortunate
opportunity to receive complimentary training in Facilitative Leadership
thanks to Stéphanie Chevrette. (Regional Coordinator, Young Community
Leaders Project, ICA Canada/YMCA Employment Services.) Thank you
Stephanie, the certificates and skills that the youth obtained through
this training will prove to be instrumental tools in their life journey.
Walden Youth have also resumed their shoveling for seniors program. Most
of our youth are under the age of 17, meaning that they don’t hold a
permanent valid driver’s permit. This puts some limitations upon the
programming when it comes to servicing seniors in need who are out of
walking distance from the Youth Centre location located on Kin Drive. We
are located in the lower level of the Community Service Centre, on Kin
Drive.
It would be greatly appreciated if everyone could pool together and work
on this project assisting our seniors in the Walden area. I am
requesting that anyone who is available to help contact me so that I can
prepare a list of volunteers.

Walden Youth For Youth ...looking for Community
Partners to help Seniors in Walden!
This is the second winter that the Walden Youth for Youth have been
volunteering their time within the community offering a free shoveling
service to seniors. This program has branched off into raking for
seniors and gardening for seniors during the spring, summer and fall
months.
Most of our youth are under the age of 17, meaning that they don't hold
a permanent valid driver's permit. This puts some limitations upon the
programming when it comes to servicing seniors in need who are out of
walking distance from the Youth Centre location in the lower level of
the Lively Community Service Centre, on Kin Drive.
It would be greatly appreciated if everyone could pool together and work
on this project assisting our seniors in Walden communities - which our
WYFY volunteers are unable to reach.
ie) We recently received a request re: snow removal from a senior living
in Whitefish and it was too far for our volunteers to walk to.
I am requesting that anyone who is available to help please contact me
so that I can prepare a list of volunteers who would be willing to help
fill the gaps for these shoveling services for seniors in Walden
communities. If you are available to help with our raking and gardening
programs which run in the summer and fall, please indicate that as well.
I thank you all in advance,
June Epple, Coordinator

Walden Youth 4 Youth presents a
Christmas Fundraiser!

4-5 pm Cookie Decorating
5-7 pm Movie Presentation,
“The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”
7-8pm get your complimentary photo taken with Santa!
“Free popcorn and juice”
“Coffee/Tea”
Please support our Youth with a Donation to the Walden Youth 4 Youth!
All proceeds will go to programming under way!
The Walden Youth for Youth
…Are back in session full force!
Programs such as Photography, Music/Guitar, Art & Crafts,
Sewing, and Cooking are all under way.
Our youth are preparing for the winter season and you can look forward
to the Shoveling for Seniors Program this winter. Our local youth will
donate their time-which will result in volunteer hours towards their
high school credits, or you can pay them for their services, the choice
is yours.
The Walden Youth for Youth are interested in creating a new program this
winter called "Adopt a Grandparent." Several seniors in Walden can
expect something special for Christmas!
Our youth have also expressed an interest in Caroling to raise money to
donate to the Lion's Club Christmas Telethon again this year. Last year
the amount donated from the Walden Youth for Youth was approximately
$360.00. A huge thank-you goes out to the Walden Community for opening
their doors and pocketbooks last season-which made the donation
experience positive for our youth. We look forward to singing to the
Walden residents once again during the week of November 23rd through to
the 27th.
This Christmas we would appreciate donations to the Walden Youth for
Youth that would compliment our programming underway. Gift Certificates
from merchants such as: Walmart, Michaels, Canadian Tire would be
helpful. ie Our youth had expressed an interest in knitting hats and
scarves for the homeless and for babies at the hospital this season, and
we would have launched this program if we had the supplies to complete
the project.
We are also looking for recycled light bulbs-both Christmas and regular
light bulbs- for a current project, and we are also looking for the
front page of old Christmas cards.
If you have any questions, please call the WYFY Centre
Thank you,

Good Afternoon,
This email is to inform you that the volunteers of the Young Community

Once the job is completed, the youth will receive credit for volunteer
hours at high school. Some of the youth shoveling snow are not in high
school yet so volunteer hours aren't required yet.
Note: Payment may be offered
to the youth offering the service, but that it isn't required.
To use your ‘Free Shoveling
Driveway Coupon’, please call June Epple, Walden Youth For Youth
Coordinator at 682- 1777

on
And Donations for Youth’
Programs!
Walden Youth for Youth Centre is looking for donations of working game
consoles and games. We are also looking for donations of guitars for
our music program. We are also in need of some furniture to lounge on.
Please contact our centre if you can help us out. We thank you in
advance for not just dropping things off without an appointment because
we are in a public building and we would prefer not to disturb the other
occupants. Call June Epple at 692-1777
Looking For ‘First-Hand’
Information
…About Future Career
Possibilities!
A
new youth coordinated program is being created in relation to post
secondary interests. The youth have given a list of interests for
future career avenues. They will be doing research in each of the
fields and booking guest speakers from those fields to come in to
provide insight. Bookings will commence shortly and will run into June
2009, with hopes of getting future contacts for the youth - for summer
employment, or summer volunteer experience in their fields.

door-to- door caroling on several evenings mid to late November.
Adult volunteers would be greatly appreciated for these outings.

Telethon night - which will be on December 6th between 2pm-11pm at

We are also looking for donations of digital cameras or even disposable
cameras so that the youth may learn some photography and media skills.
