Leathwood named Bailey volunteer of the year

By Murray Green

Bailey Theatre treasurer and chair of the Financial Sustainability Team Celia Leathwood, was named the 2021 volunteer of the year.

She was honoured at the volunteer awards night on November 30. “She started volunteering with us in the fall of 2018. By January, she was on the board of directors. By 2020, she became our treasurer. Celia has contributed so much in so many ways. She is always trying to find ways to save us money. She became our bookkeeper one month after being named treasurer because our bookkeeper had quit. And that was before COVID-19. Then COVID hit and she is still here. She is a great grant writer. Celia is organized. She spearheaded the clean-up of the Bailey when COVID hit. All this and she is always cheerful. No one deserves this more that Celia,” said secretary Colleen Nelson.

“People at the Bailey are its most important asset. People are the heart of this whole organization. I am proud of the 111 (now 115) volunteers, with more joining every day. This is a sign of a really healthy organization. We welcome new people and new ideas,” said president Barb Stroh. “It’s about building community and this is our community. This building is an anchor in the community. What everyone brings to the table is unique, we are all different. The differences are our contributions to the Bailey Theatre. I will read a quote: ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.’”

Secretary Colleen reported a few statistics for volunteers. “We have had 2,160.25 hours of volunteer time that were spent on non-events, so that means meetings and projects. We have had 600 hours on events on site. That includes maintenance, box office and training. It is so nice to have people back at the Bailey, a safe and welcoming place.”

The Bailey celebrated its 10th year of operation in its modern era. A 10-year plaque was presented to Carole-May Coty for her long and dedicated service. Patricia Fielding and Patricia Lyseng have also served for 10 years.

“Beginning in 2022, we will be starting an ambassador program for those who want to continue to be ambassadors for us,” shared Colleen. “It is our way of honouring the wisdom that we have in our organization. I now know that when I retire from the board, I might still have a place here.”

Several other volunteers received five-year pins for service. Musician Steve Olson provided the entertainment for the evening in the Spotlight Bistro.
