For those looking for a fun way to celebrate this upcoming Valentine's Day, the Larocque, Noonan and Hill families are putting on a fundraiser for a much loved family member in need of a liver transplant. The family member, who has been ill and unable to work, has been on a transplant list for years but a match has not been found for her. She is now hoping that a family member currently undergoing testing will be able to be a live liver donor. In an effort to help her with future medical expenses the three families have prepared a special Valentine's Day Dance fundraiser that will take place on February 14 from 8pm - 1am at the Timber Run Golf Club and Banquet Hall in Lanark. The event will include live music by beloved local rockers, the Feral Five, Perth DJ Larry Barr, and both a silent and very entertaining live auction courtesy of auctioneer Dean Tryon. Live auction items will include a new laptop computer, a Holiday Inn and Wine Tour package, four front row Sens tickets for their February 21 game, a four-course dinner for six prepared in your home by famed chef Dennis Larocque, three full cords of wood, numerous gift certificates and much more. Hot pizza will be served throughout the evening and a free shuttle service is also available for those traveling within 25 km. of Lanark. Tickets are $20 and are available in Sharbot Lake at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn or from Dennis and Donna Larocque (613-279-2623); in Perth at Fall River Fashion and Perth Motors; and in Lanark village at The Lanark Landing. Don't miss the opportunity for both Valentine's Day fun and fundraising. The Timber Run Golf Club and Banquet Hall is a gorgeous venue and is located at 154 Caldwell Street in Lanark.
