Mary Anne Dillon has been volunteering in Paradise for over 40 years. She is a member of the Kin Club, a Guide leader, and volunteers with the heart and Stroke Foundation, the Kidney Foundation, and the Avalon Dragons. Mary Anne is well-respected within her volunteer groups and is known as a strong advocate for youth. She was instrumental in the Guiding movement in Paradise, serving in a variety of capacities, including at the District and Provincial levels. She supports all community initiatives and it’s said that she promotes her service and youth clubs every chance she gets. This volunteer never puts herself first, and this was certainly evident last year. As we all faced the COVID-19 pandemic, Mary Anne also faced her own medical challenges, but none of that interfered with her volunteer commitments.
