A number of members of The Yorkton Elks stopped into The Health Foundation office to present a cheque for $5,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. The donation is for the new lab equipment The Health Foundation is raising funds for. Presenting the Cheque were Dan Fisher, Marilyn Leniuk and Lawrence Thompson.
鈥淭he Elks have supported the work of The Health Foundation most years,鈥 said Lawrence Thompson. 鈥淲e think the work the foundation does to improve our local healthcare is important to the community, and it really compliments the work we do as Elks. We raise money to invest it back into the community to make Yorkton a better place to live and work and raise a family.鈥 聽
We are a service club, and we raise money to support good organizations and projects that make our area a better place to live. The Yorkton Elks have supported many projects in the community and will continue to do so, continued Mr. Thompson. 聽
鈥淭he Yorkton Elks have been very strong supporters of our work for many years. We hope other organizations and businesses will see what the Elks have done and make their own donation,鈥 said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.
