SERVICE – WE ASSIST, NURTURE, SUPPORT
At our regular November meeting, April Patry, the Executive Director for Foundation Bruce Peninsula Hospitals presented an overview of the activities of the organization. The information was very interesting and our Club continued with support to local healthcare that had been the tradition with the former Lioness group with a donation of $1,000.
Our one fundraiser for this month is the Curling Bonspiel. Just a reminder that if you are looking for a fun day of curling on November 26th, please give Lindsay deMalmache a call for further information at 519-795-7045.
We had one new member inducted to the Club at our meeting. We are pleased to welcome Lisa VanGeem. She has already been helping out with many events, so we feel fortunate to have Lisa join us. Also, we were excited to have a prospective new member join our November meeting. We hope she enjoyed the experience and will become a member.
Remember if you are looking for a way to make a positive impact in the Community, please contact Roberta Mielhausen at 519-793-3555 or 519-793-4110.
