March, 2011                  Lions Come Together to Fulfill a Dream For Ingleside Man

 

Quarterbacked by the Morrisburg & District Lions Club, Finch & District, Chesterville & District and Cornwall-Seaway Lions Clubs came together to donate $2,000 towards a customized and motorized wheelchair for local resident, Karl Armstrong. Stricken with polio as a child, the activities Karl could enjoy had become severely restricted when his non motorized wheelchair became too much for him.
