The following guest blog post was written by Kelly Sprackett, Coordinator of Volunteer Services at Broadmead Care Society, in praise of one of their long-time volunteers. Thank you Kelly, for recognizing and sharing Pat’s impact on your organization!
Pat Robertson - one of Broadmead Care Society's valued volunteers.
We are proud to say that Pat Robertson has been a volunteer with Broadmead Care Society (and before that, our predecessor Tillicum and Veterans Care Society) since 1975.
Pat continues to lead the sing along for elderly residents of The Lodge at Broadmead that she began at Tillicum Lodge 36 years ago – and shows no signs of stopping!
Pat is remarkably dedicated, a natural leader with a quiet and gentle manner. She lives to connect with others through music. Her commitment and passion for volunteerism is evident in all that she does. She also leads a community choir and has volunteered in the school system and at Swan Lake among other organizations too numerous to mention. Pat also served as a founding member of the Board of Tillicum and Veterans Care Society.
Pat does not volunteer for the recognition and is, in fact, rather uncomfortable with being in the spot light. She is a great inspiration, a leader, and a friend to other volunteers who enjoy helping residents to participate in the sing along program. She views her volunteering as a team effort, and she always brings out the best in residents and volunteers alike.
Pat is a great ambassador for Broadmead Care Society and has always approached her leadership from the perspective that she is part of a team where everyone has an important role to play.
Volunteers with Broadmead Care Society make every moment matter. With Pat Robertson, moments matter in the most honest and heart felt ways. Thank you Pat for all you do and have done for us!
