Arthur Clark - Mailing Volunteer
Arthur Clark
Wellspring Volunteer
It was a newspaper article that prompted Arthur Clark to make his first visit to Wellspring.
It was 1993, and Arthur was coping with cancer. After walking through the doors on that first visit, Arthur quickly learned what a safe place Wellspring was to share information and find valuable sources of support. Through his interactions with program leaders, members and other volunteers, Arthur found himself on the road to his own personal path of healing and self-discovery.
When a call went out for mailing volunteers to help with the stuffing, sorting, and distribution of Wellspring material, Arthur answered. Fifteen years later, Arthur remains a backbone of Wellspring’s mailing programs in Toronto. Having rarely missed one of these bi-monthly events, he is thorough, accurate and lightning fast.
Arthur has spoken many times of all the doors that his experiences at Wellspring have opened for him. In his words "I am only one person and have experienced so much through Wellspring. Can you imagine if you combined all the experiences of all the members and volunteers – that would be quite a phenomenon!"
