A BIG Shout-Out to all our SPONSORS. Thank you also to our donors of the live and silent auctions. "Salute" to our great volunteers and the eQuinelle Golf Club staff and facilities for contributing to a great and memorable day. And of course, thank you to all 148 golfers!!! See you on the greens next year!

Meanwhile, please enjoy the video memories of the 2024 Golf Tournament. Our deep appreciation to volunteer Anna Van Adrichem-Rochon for both her photography and producing the video. She really captured the fun on the course and at the Clubhouse.

An extremely successful Bingo held on Canada Day at the Kemptville Legion, Branch 212, resulted in an $1,800 donation to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation’s CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign. A capacity crowd of 110 happy bingo players attended the afternoon Bingo.

Mike Amirault, Lottery Chair, along with his wife, Debbie, organized the well received event. He explained, “the support and strong turnout was all because of the cause: the CT Scanner. It just shows the enormous community support for this project.”

Mike and Debra, along with Legion President and Veteran, Jay Tousaw, recently presented the $1,800 cheque to Joanne Mavis, KDH Foundation Executive Director. She expressed her appreciation for the Bingo donation which also includes a contribution from Kemptville Legion Branch 212. She said, “We are so grateful for this gift to the Crossroads Campaign and the long-standing support from the Legion and the community. We are now closer to our goal and the finish line of $2.2 million.  We know that the CT Scanner will bring quality diagnostic service closer to home and peace of mind to patients and families.”

Mike and Debbie said the Legion intends to do this Canada Day Bingo annually in support of the hospital foundation.

The Friendship Lunch Committee recently made a $2,000 donation to the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign.

The Friendship Lunch Program has been running for over forty years from September to June, and twice a month during July and August. Each lunch averages 80-100 participants and is a way to provide food, fun and friendship every Friday. Presently held at St. John’s United Church, 400 Prescott Street, Kemptville, it is open to anyone in the community at no charge. A donation box is available. Dedicated volunteers from five groups help make this program happen and include parishioners from St. James Anglican Church, Kemptville Pentecostal Church, Holy Cross Catholic Church, St. John’s United Church as well as the House of Lazarus.

The donation to the KDH Foundation represents “free will” offerings from the lunch participants.

Joanne Mavis, Executive Director of the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Foundation said she was thrilled to receive this donation to the CT Scanner Campaign. “We are very grateful for this wonderful gift from the community. We know that the CT Scanner will benefit all of us with a quicker diagnosis and treatment, closer to home.”

The KDH Foundation is one of three recipients of the Friendship Lunch Committee’s generosity which includes the House of Lazarus and the Salvation Army.
