Maymont seniors had a soup and sandwichÌý lunch as well as a book sale Jan. 13. Thanks to all those who donated the food and to everyone who donated books for the sale. A great big thank you to all hall members who helped with this event. There were over 40 people who joined us. Thank you all for coming.

I know I have talked about this before, but it is something that gave us our son’s life back. He was in Edmonton waiting for instructions on what to do when called for a double-lung transplant. While he was there he fell ill. He was hospitalized, as they didn’t think he was going to make it. While they were treating him someone passed away and donated their lungs. He was able to go into surgery that morning and receive the lungs.

How sad it is for people to die so others can live, but the family of four who died in a recent car crash donated to 50 others. Please make inquiries and get the little dot to put on your driver licence indicating your willingness to give to others. When you do so, please make sure to let your family members know you have done so.
