Gwen Dell'Anno:
As Naramata Centre's 2017 Summer  Manager, Gwen was at the helm this spring, summer and fall through some challenging situations. Gwen began work April 1 and welcomed staff members over the next few months. She was on deck for the severe rainstorms and flooding in May and June, which resulted in the loss of our dock and a dangerous collection of debris on our beach. She oversaw the cleanup with the help of staff and volunteers, and the beach was ready for guests when they arrived. If you were at the Centre in 2017, you likely saw Gwen whizzing around the site on her bicycle. What you may not have known was that she slept outdoors most nights (as is her preference) in the corner of Southside Campsite! Thank you, Gwen, for all that you accomplished as our Summer Manager!
Mike McClary:
Mike is our year-round maintenance person at  the Centre. Chances are good that you will have met Mike if you have been at the Centre over the past two years. He is well-known for his warm and welcoming demeanor - greeting and chatting with people as he completes his maintenance work around the site. Mike is on hand working alongside volunteers at all of our Hearts and Hands volunteer weeks and other volunteer events.
Thank you, Mike, for all that you do and for being a great ambassador for Naramata Centre!
