Volunteer profile: Theo Rain
 
Point Henry’s Theo Rain has been working in the Potrooms as a potliner for the last 27 years. Theo is also a tireless volunteer in his local community.
 
“My volunteer work is for the Geelong Obedience Dog Club (GODC) in Breakwater. I assist the organisation because of my love of animals - particularly dogs - and have volunteered there for two years now,” Theo said.
 
“My duties at the club involve anything from fencing to painting, to canteen duties and selling raffle tickets and car park attendant, the list goes on.
 
“Doing volunteer work is a very satisfying activity as it helps me connect with people for the benefit of the club.”
 
With the money donated by Alcoa through Bravo! program, the club purchased a park bench for club members (particularly the elderly ones) to rest and chat before or after the obedience class.
 
In acknowledgment of Alcoa’s support, the club has erected a plaque on the bench.
 
Prior to joining the GODC, Theo was a volunteer for the Salvos.
