Volunteer Spotlight: Deanna Smith

I love volunteering for VeDA and hosting the monthly social hour! I’m passionate about connecting with others, focusing on positive experiences, sharing wellness strategies, and having fun. I have over 30 years of recreation and event planning experience, and I enjoy planning activities for your enjoyment and mental well-being.

We’re often lonely and misunderstood on our vestibular journey. The social hour offers an opportunity to escape from this isolation and experience an hour of fun, friendship, and engagement.

For the past 8 years, I’ve benefited from VeDA’s online resources, support groups, and virtual conferences. I have participated in the social events hour for several years. When the opportunity came up to volunteer last year, I thought it would be a great way to get involved and give back to this amazing community and organization.

I hope you can join us online every fourth Monday to learn, grow, and participate with others. Enjoy interactive games, creative activities, and learn from special guests focusing on mindfulness and wellness.
