Daily Report
Gatineau, December 6, 2008 - The first evening of Operation Red Nose Outaouais 2008 went well. On Friday December 5, 38 teams of volunteers gave 132 rides. The free chauffeur service will be on again tonight, December 6, and then, December 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27 and 31. Operation Red Nose Outaouais can be reached at 819-771-AUTO, i.e 819-771-2886.
Desjardins General Insurance wants to celebrate Operation Red Nose's 25th anniversary by rewarding the volunteers. The Bénévoles Desjardins contest offers a chance to two participants amongts all the regions of the province of Quebec to win a travel voucher of $2,500 and $250 in spending money for a total value of $5,500.
People who want to register as volunteers can print the registration form available on line at www.operationnezrouge.com, or pick up a paper copy at Subway restaurants, Caisses Desjardins and points of service of the Société d'assurance automobile du Québec. The form must be returned at least 48 hours before the evening to which they want to participate.
Operation Red Nose is a unique program dedicated against drinking and driving. Essentially, it is a volunteer driving service provided during the Holiday Season to all drivers who have been drinking or who do not feel fit to drive their own vehicle. Even though the service is free, donations are welcomed and, in our region, go towards a sport fund administered by Loisir sport Outaouais, project sponsor of Operation Red Nose Outaouais.
