Lions Club draw raises over $2,500 for hospital foundation

NEWS RELEASE
SAULT STE MARIE LIONS CLUB
*************************
The SSM Lions Club held their 50/50 draw on April 8 at 7:30 p.m. at Lions Place and Maarit Kinnunen was the lucky winner of $3,000 (ticket #95).

Net proceeds of $2,515 are going towards the purchase of a blood culture analyzer for the Sault Area Hospital Foundation. This is an integral priority piece of diagnostic equipment for the Laboratory.  

The existing equipment has reached end of life and requires replacement. Timely and reliable blood culture results improve quality of care provided for patients.

The SSM Lions Club appreciates our past sponsors, volunteers and the community as a whole for its continued support.

The Club is seeking civic-minded men and women to join them in making a difference in the community. Our club gives members an opportunity to advance worthy causes, serve with friends, and become leaders in the community.

If anyone is interested in joining please contact the Membership Committee Chair at [email protected] and he can provide you with further information.
