The KDH Foundation recently had a banner day with two donations to the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign.
The first donation of the day was from Debra Amirault who dropped off two cheques in memory of her late mother. She remarked that the nurses at KDH were wonderful and so very thoughtful of her and her mother which was greatly appreciated, especially during that difficult time. She explained that her late mother had fallen a few times and had to go into Ottawa for a head scan to rule out a brain bleed or fracture. She said, “It will be huge to have the CT right here, in Kemptville!”
Kemptville Duplicate Bridge Club assembled to donate $1,000 to the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign. In the front row, seated centre, right, Liz Robinson, Club’s President, presents the cheque to Margret Norenberg, KDH Foundation Chair, (seated centre, left).
Debra’s enthusiastic support of the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign continues with the Canada Day Bingo she and her husband are organizing at the Royal Canadian Legion 212 Kemptville Branch. All proceeds from the July 1 event will go towards the CT Scanner, including the 50/50 draw. Doors open at noon and the fun gets underway at 1:00 pm and continues until 3:00 pm. Refreshments will be available at the canteen.
The second community donation to the Crossroads Campaign on May 2 was from the Kemptville Duplicate Bridge Club. This was the second year in a row that the Club has generously presented $1,000 to the Foundation. Present to gratefully receive the cheque from the Club’s President, Liz Robinson, were Margret Norenberg, KDH Foundation Chair and Joanne Mavis, KDH Foundation ED.
Every donation brings us a step closer to the Campaign goal of $2.2 million and having a CT Scanner in the Kemptville District Hospital. Its impact will mean better, faster and urgent care for patients.
