BMO Supports Rural Visions

Members of the Verona branch of the BMO fundraising team presented a cheque for $600 to Maggie Dalmas, the fundraising committee chair for Central Frontenac Community Services (Rural VISIONS). Marjorie Brown is the fundraising co-ordinator for the branch. Each spring the branch organises a raffle, usually with a gardening theme, and the money raised is donated to a worthy cause. This year, the money will go to supporting programming for the physically disabled at Rural VISIONS. They will be used for long term care services or the Adult Day program run by the centre, which serves South Frontenac from its base in Sydenham. The fundraising campaign is something our staff enjoys,” said branch manager Penny Lloyd, “and we are pleased to be able to help out a community group.”
