CHEERS! to support for Hospice Prince Edward

During the successful campaign to bring about the new Essroc Arena in Wellington, the Wellington Rotary Club has been recognized as a major contributor.  The club has just 34 members, but has pledged $50,000 to the project and members are enthusiastically on their way to meeting the pledge.  They also regularly provide assistance and support to individuals and organizations.  On Wednesday, Dec. 8th, a presentation was made to Nancy Parks, Executive Director of Hospice Prince Edward by Mike Lattner. With this donation, the Rotary Club of Wellington brings financial support to Hospice Prince Edward and its mandate to provide palliative care and bereavement support to families and individuals in Prince Edward County Above, from left:  Mike Lattner, President, Ted Nash, Past President, Nnacy Parks, Executive Director, Art Sinclair, President Elect, Pierre LeBrun, Treasurer, Howard Ziedenberg, Vice President
