Lions donate over $100,000 to Manor

Local Lions Clubs have been fundraising to support the Maxville Manor redevelopment. Together, the groups from Vankleek Hill, Finch, Alexandria and Maxville joined Lions Club International to contribute $105,000 for the Manor, funds which will be used to purchase equipment for the kitchen in the new long-term care facility.

Phyllis Burtenshaw-Lalonde, acting Chief Executive Officer for the Maxville Manor, told the Lions Clubs members in attendance how appreciative the Manor was for the donation. She acknowledged that fundraising is not easy and on behalf of everyone at the Manor, she thanked them for their time, their laughter and their support of the redevelopment project.
