LDMH Foundation annual gala raises $85,000 John Ingratta made a special announcement at the 16th annual Leamington District Memorial Hospital Foundation Gala held Saturday, February 5 at the Roma Club. Set to an Old Hollywood Glam theme, the Gala welcomed approximately 400 local supporters of the hospital’s Foundation. Ingratta, the Foundation’s Finance Chairman, announced a very successful fundraising year for the Foundation, which donated $1.6 million to Leamington District Memorial Hospital last year. Ingratta credited the fundraising initiatives of the Foundation as well as a good return on the Foundation’s investments. Ingratta also stated that $850,000 of the $1.6M donated was earmarked for the new satellite dialysis unit at Leamington District Memorial Hospital. “After three years of waiting for all the final approvals, we have everything in place and can finish this much-needed project in our community,” said Ingratta. Despite the snowfall and poor driving conditions on Saturday night, a good turnout helped raise another $85,000 (and counting) for the Foundation for future hospital needs. Diane Taylor was glad she made the drive as she won the $6,500 diamond necklace and earrings sponsored by Wharram’s Jewellery.
Snow Day Means Fun Day For Local Kids The cancellation of school across Essex County due to snow on Wednesday, February 2 meant a day of fun for area children. From the left, Kim Goyeau, Carly Goyeau, Jocelyn Goodchild, Kaylie Goodchild and Ryan Goyeau spent hours outdoors building a fort out of a snow hill. They took a break by sipping hot chocolate and enjoying each other’s company. Although the area didn’t receive as much snow as originally predicted, it was enough to cause havoc with local traffic. More snowfall graced Leamington and area on Saturday night as another four inches fell throughout the day.
