The Mountaineer Volunteer is a weekly, pay-it-forward feature in the Revelstoke Mountaineer that highlights the great work volunteers do to make Revelstoke a true community. Each week, we feature a new volunteer who then nominates the volunteer to be featured the next week.
Mountaineer Volunteer: Susan Dosot
Revelstoke Mountaineer: What are your volunteer duties?
Susan Dosot: I volunteer at the Royal Canadian Legion and at the Revelstoke Seniors Centre. Usually I can be found in the kitchen, organizing, creating and preparing for all sorts of events. I cook and prepare for teas, bingo lunch, dinners and very important fundraising drives.

RM: Why do you volunteer?
SD: Helping others would have to be my main reason to volunteer. I also realize the need for volunteers and what a difference it makes for our community.

RM: For you, what’s rewarding about volunteering?
SD: The most rewarding thing for me when I volunteer is when someone says thank-you! I like this saying: “I do believe if you see someone without a smile give them one of yours.”
