Volunteer Tip of the Week

All volunteers are responsible for the advertising and promotion of the services we provide.  Flyers are available at the Supervisors desk in the Wonder Factory and should be taken whenever visiting the wards and distributed along the way.  Make sure you let families know about the Parent Lounge, Wonder Factory and all of the other wonderful services we provide.
