ASRAB

Sarah is one of the hard working and committed young members of the BlueCircle Insurance office, but she's more than just an amazing organizer of our 'paperwork' and all of that goes along with making sure policies get endorsed and payments get made on time. Sarah also happens to be a volunteer, helping out with the Alberta Sport and Recreation Association for the Blind ( ASRAB). For 'Sight Night', you will find Sarah manning a station along a designated route and giving directions to runners. as participants head out into the dark of night to run an 8 km course or walk a 3 km route. The idea is to raise awareness of some of the daily issues facing people with visual impairments may have, hence the night time start which puts sighted runners/walkers in the dark and levels the playing field, so to speak.
As well, Sarah is helping with a special event this month and volunteered for the Blind Lawn Bowling National Championships, being held here in Calgary during the week of August 26 - 30th. Sarah, along with a few other BlueCircle volunteers, will act as Markers for the sight impaired bowlers and their coaches. It's world class bowling, so look for a future post later in the week featuring some of the game play.
And, great job Sarah! Without volunteers, so many things would not be possible!

Sarah asked for volunteers to help while playing at her own league night with the Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club.
