'No special training, skills, cal presence in the community, just a .o mw something that needed to be done 1 it and I just admire that so much." ;€ 's reaction was not only to help, but to pial media to lead others. The Goderich do Clean Up Hub was launched on Facebook and soon became its own F3 force in the community. It was volunteerism at its best. • The YMCA Peace Medallion is intended to recognize the achievements of individuals and groups in local communities who - without any special resources - demonstrate in their lives and activities peaceful values and community service. "The YMCA has been handing out Peace Medals since 1984, and this is the sixth year here in Goderich of selecting a person in our community who is a face of adversity, rose above, took on a challenge and really inspired and rallied individuals to move forward, to cel- ebrate and look for opportunities to create peace. Although there were many unsung heroes following the tornado, this morning we're celebrating Luke," Anne Marie Thomson. Elliot says he, like many others, was stunned at the destruction in the hours after the storm hit. He immediately added his name to the vol- unteer registry, but felt action was needed. , "Two days went by with no phone call before I decided to make a Facebook group to try to get a couple friends together," Elliot said. "Twenty-four hours later 200 people had the same idea, 72 hours following that about 700 people had the idea. In all this I've had a lot of people come forward and congratulate me and say I'm doing a great thing, but I could not in no way have gotten this far without the other won- derful people in this community to come for- ward with me and to help up rebuild what was taken from us and make it better" "Out of all this, 1 have seen that there is a need to document and record what I'm doing, and one project that I'm going to be working on over the next couple of months is a draft of vol- unteer manual or handbook. It's going to be open source to other communities so that in case a disaster happens, there will be a piece of information based on our experience that will help them to hit the ground running where were had to learn through it and work through it, but they can learn from our mistakes and our triumphs. D Luke Elliot was awarded the YMCA Peace Medal Saturday for his work to organize a volunteer movement to aid in disaster clean-up. 1 f etwork Classifieds: 1RIVERS (2 Yrs. Exp.)
