Diary of an Operation Red Nose Mascot

I am Rudy, the Operation Red Nose Mascot and this is a little peek into my world. Each year around the start of November, Operation Red Nose kicks into gear to help keep the streets of Nanaimo safe from impaired drivers. I am there front and center for the entire event, and this year I'd like you to come along with me.

Operaton Red Nose 2007 Comes to a Close......


Well we have come to the end of the 2007 Operation Red Nose Campaign.


And, what a great campaign it was!!


Over the course of the entire 2007 campaign we had some great nights:


Friday November 30th was our night to welcome volunteers from the Malaspina Recreation and Tourism program.


Friday December 7th was our night to welcome employees from Coast Realty.


Friday December 14th was a particularly special night:


  • most volunteers for one night this year (41).

  • highest single donation amount. One very generous person donated a bag of rolled coins totalling just over $200.00.

  • It was also the night that Shaw employees volutneered for ORN and the company matched the total donations for the night!

Monday December 31st was of course a busy night:


  • we dispatched the most teams of the campaign (17) to a record number of calls (128).

Overall we had a great campaign:



  • 665 rides

  • 294 volunteers

  • 108 teams

  • 15,073 kms driven

  • over $12,000.00 donated

Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers and to those people who took advantage of the Operation Red Nose Service.


See you all next season!!!!



Rudy
