Myrna Frost

Secretary
"When I retired from teaching in 1997 I decided that I wanted to spend my days doing something that made a difference in peoples' lives. I chose to volunteer with NeighbourLink North York, a network that really helps those in need who cannot access services elsewhere. For the past 18 years I have served NeighbourLink as a Board member, a church co-ordinator, a driver, a shopper and an office volunteer. It has been very rewarding to see what a difference the gift of time can make in the lives of loney and isolated people and to be able use my gifts to ensure that NeighbourLink will continue into the future."

Robert Reid

I first became aware of Neighbourlink North York when I started attending Willowdale Presbyterian Church twelve years ago. The Neighbourlink mandate of members of local congregations reaching out with God’s love to help their vulnerable neighbours struck a chord in me, and so I served as that church’s volunteer coordinator for several years. Recently, I was asked to join the Board of Directors, and I have agreed to serve in this capacity as Neighbourlink continues to adapt to the needs and challenges of the community today.
