Blayne Thomas

Blayne has been volunteering for LSCO for many years. Currently Blayne helps out in the dining room and kitchen supporting the staff by washing down tables, wiping out the Meals on Wheels cooler bags, and putting away dishes. Blayne is dedicated to his role, and he is always willing to lend a helping hand.

Blayne is a happy guy. He always greets everyone with a great big smile. Blayne inspires those around him. Not only does he inspire us, he also feels inspired by many of the great people in his life, past and present. Blayne would like to recognize his friends and family –specifically his sister, Jill, and her family, Rob Miyashiro, the Executive Director here at the LSCO, his friends at the ARC, his keyworker, his roommate Jim, and his really good buddy, Wayne, from junior high who Blayne says “he was like my brother I never had”.

Blayne’s favourite thing about volunteering is all the people. All the people he sees that he knows, and all the people he gets to meet.
When Blayne isn’t volunteering, he is spending time with his family – he loves being an uncle. Blayne likes to tease and be teased. He said, “If they give me a hard time, I give them a hard time right back.” Blayne also enjoys playing cards. Blayne really enjoys volunteering and thinks other people should give it a try too. He said, “If you give back into it a little bit, and you like it, why not do it! Don’t stop! Just
keep on going.”

Thanks Blayne for all you support here at LSCO.
