Virtual walk a success
Dear Editor:
Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides and Fergus Lions want to thank Centre Wellington and area for your support of our 2021 “Virtual Dog Walk” and fundraiser for Dog Guides.
The local Fergus online donations totaled $9,500 and the Fergus Club was able to donate $4,000 over the last 12 months. The Marsville Lions Club raised nearly $3,000 and the total accumulated donation was $18,415. Wow, a near record amount and we do not know who to thank individually.
I know the Fergus Legion donated and neighbours, dog lovers and foster dog families donated but the remainder are anonymous to us Lions. The assistance dogs you helped us raise and train are a gift to those in Canada who need them. Liz in Kitchener recently received her canine vision dog and we like to think it was our “Fergus” support since he is named Fergus.
Next year we are planning to resume holding an in-person Walk for Dog Guides to thank our supporters, so watch the Fergus Lions website for details. Thank you.
Ben Collings, Fergus Lions, Walk for Dog Guides
