Do Drop In past president Robert Iverson and past secretary Joyce Antoine applied for a New Horizon grant to repair the section of the street in front of the seniors’ centre where water accumulated.
The accumulation made it difficult to get into the building without getting feet wet or crossing dangerous ice patches.
The club was granted $7,000 and a donation of $2,000 from the duplicate bridge club also went to this cause.
Terry Shury and Art Jones removed the old sidewalk. Murray Antoine put in the forms for the new one and brought the concrete. Dirk Van Ee dug the trench and Terry Shury filled it in.
President Eric Callbeck was the co-ordinator for the operation, which came in under budget, as so many people worked voluntarily. There were many volunteers in every part of the project, working for the safety of seniors and others, for which everyone is most appreciative.
The one reward some received was KFC lunch that day.
