Since the Christmas season has come to an end, we have entered into a new year, which means a new season of busyness for us Ambassadors. We are proud to say we have a total of 16 new candidates, who have proven to be very assertive and enthusiastic about the program. With the coming of the new candidates, Karly, Emily and I have come to realize all the more what a gem this program has been for us, and how much sooner it will come to an end. Even though we are saddened by this thought, it brings comfort to remember that 5 months still remain for us to attend events and functions and continue to have the privilege of representing our beautiful city of Kamloops.
In January we were able to participate in Wendy’s Dreamlift Day! We had a great time learning how to function in the appropriately named business of “fast” food. Karly and I poured beverages for the patient customers, and Paris and Emily helped on the drive thru, and we all got to pour a few frosties on the way. Altogether we had a great time, supporting a great cause.
Another event we attended was Literacy Day. This is a day were children of all ages can come out and enjoy doing crafts, playing with various experiments displayed by the Big Little Science Center, listening to tunes played by the Oldtime Fiddlers, face painting, reading books, and many other fun activities. It is all in support of Literacy for children. Though it may be hard to believe, one in four children in Kamloops cannot read, and for this reason we were proud to contribute to make that fact a part of the past.
I personally had a particularly emotional time at the Alzheimer’s Walk for Memories, where we held the ribbon that was cut to begin the walk. It was an amazing turn out, of young and old participants, which was impacting to everyone involved.
Each of these events represent life changing causes, and Karly, Emily and I were proud to be a part of them. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely and we look forward to our future events!
Best Wishes,
Kamloops Princess Kimberly Lebel
