The Verona Lions Club recently donated $30,000 to the Limestone Learning Foundation from their Donna Clarke Memorial Fund.

In 2009, the Verona Lions Club received a generous legacy gift upon the passing of one of its very active members, Ms. Donna Clarke. Ms. Clarke had enjoyed a very full and rewarding career as an educator with the Frontenac County Board of Education and it was her wish that her legacy gift be used by the Verona Lions Club for the benefit of local children. The Verona Lions Club Donna Clarke Memorial Fund was established to provide ongoing financial support, through investment earnings, to enhanced learning projects at schools in the Limestone District School Board in the areas of Literacy & Numeracy, Science & Technology, the Arts, and Innovative Practices as determined by the Foundation Board of Directors.
