Meet Jan McGill. Jan has been a dedicated volunteer for the Town of Quispamsis. As a volunteer with the Enjoy Life Expo for 50+ that hosted a variety of information booths for the 300+ visitors, she attended committee meetings, circulated promotional materials, and assisted with the operation of the event. The 50+ Friendship Games held in June, also took months of Jan’s time as preparation meetings were held for the event which hosted hundreds of athletes. Certainly, without Jan’s involvement in the community these two events would not have been as successful. Her network connections and wonderful way with people encourages them to become more engaged with their community and participate in events. Jan’s involvement is truly appreciated.
