Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary launches Toonie Sale fundraiser
Residents of Huron County are invited to support the Clinton Public Hospital through the auxiliary’s Toonie Sale fundraising. Coming September 20 until September 28, Clinton Hospital Penny Toony ‘Penny Sale’ will be held to support the local hospital. All proceeds from this sale are used for purchasing of equipment, which is needed by the Clinton Public Hospital. Each year the total amount of funds raised by the auxiliary is used to make specified purchases that have been searched out by the hospital’s auxiliary group. Over the years from 2010 until 2023, the Auxiliary has purchased items for the hospital amounting to over $200,000. Each year a total amount varying from $15,000 to $20,000 has been raised by the auxiliary and the toonie sale is one of the largest fundraisers for this purpose. Open for viewing and purchase of tickets from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. except on Friday, September 27, when it will be open until 8 p.m. Each ticket cost $2 – or a toonie – and each ticket contains 25 chances to win an item the ticket holder has selected. Each ticket has a number on it. The event has approximately just over 200 items and approximately just over 40 gift certificates for people to choose from. Draw day is on September 28 and closes at 12 noon when drawing for prize winners will begin. Prize winners will be notified by telephone on September 28 after the draw is complete. The sale is being held in the Clinton Legion, on Kirk Street.

Goderich efforts raise over $18,000 for Parkinson’s Walk 2024
The annual walk held on Saturday, September 7 was a rainy, windy and cold day to start with but the walkers in Goderich braved the weather. When it was time to walk, the rain stopped, and their efforts to raise funds resulted in over $18,000 donated to Parkinson’s Society of Southwest Ontario (PSSO). It was a great turnout, with around 75-80 walkers, and their efforts made it one of our best walks ever in Goderich. Families walked for someone who has Parkinson’s - there were brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, grandchildren, and
many friends. “It was a great day; it takes a village,” said Ron Corriveau, one of the participants and a volunteer with the Goderich Parkinson’s support group. Corriveau’s wife June has Parkinson’s, and they have been involved in the walk since it began. At the end organizers of the walk have made it tradition to acknowledge the top three people or groups as far as donations go. CONTINUE TO PAGE 2
