Fundraising kick-off for Parkland Lodge furnishings


by Deanna Mitchener

The Community's help is needed to raise money
to furnish the new Parkland Lodge.
A goal of $250,000 has been estimated for our
community in raising funds to acquire furnishings
for the multi-purpose areas of the new lodge.
On November 15, the Parkland Lodge Expansion
Team fundraising board members held a Kick-off
information session in the foyer of the lodge at 2
p.m.
Ivan Strang, President of Parkland Lodge
Auxiliary led the session and had different speakers
come up and share their information. Later guests
were encouraged to stay and visit and enjoy some
refreshments.
