On Dec. 16, Alan McPhail, president of the Sydenham & District Lions Club, presented a cheque for $1000 to Sue Clinton, Chair, and Peter Stewart, Logistics Co-ordinator, Loughborough Christmas & Emergency Relief Committee. This timely donation provides the LC&ERC with a welcome boost to its fundraising efforts as it prepares to distribute 68 Christmas baskets in Loughborough District. This year the committee celebrates 25 years of helping those in need in our community.
McPhail also presented a $500 cheque to Dr. Karin Steiner, Executive Director of New Leaf Link (NeLL), a non-profit charitable organization that supports the continuing education and meaningful occupation of youth and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum conditions, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injury, and other neurological conditions. The funding will support the educational programs being offered by NeLL to young adults in Southern Frontenac County and surrounding area.
The Sydenham & District Lions, like Lions clubs everywhere, are dedicated to giving back to the community in which they reside.
