Leamington MS Walk celebrating 10th year By Sheila McBrayne Maurene Glanders, team captain of Marjorie’s Motley Crew, is looking forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of the local walk on May 5, while celebrating her team’s 19th year participating in the MS Walk. Maurene participated in her first MS Walk in 1993 in Windsor by herself. In 1986 her mother-in-law Marjorie Glanders was diagnosed with MS and she wanted “to do something” to help. It didn’t take long for her family to join in the walk and the second year, Marjorie’s Motley Crew was born. The team grew over the years and participated in the Windsor Walk every year, until Leamington started its own MS Walk in 2003. “It’s a wonderful day for us… It’s all about raising money for a cure and the fact that we can walk, so we do,” said Glanders. “The Glanders and Hannigans always have a good time,” she joked.

The team has grown to about 25 members over the years. “The family keeps growing and so does our team, with kids and the kids’ friends and boyfriends and girlfriends,” said Glanders. One goal that Marjorie’s Motley Crew has their sites on this year is to be first in fundraising. She laughs as she says, “We always come in second to Marstronardi Produce, we want to beat them, just once,” she said. Marjorie’s Motley Crew can proudly state that they have raised $45,000 over the 10 years in Leamington. Mastronardi Produce has participated each year of the Leamington MS Walk’s 10-year history raising $132,421! “Paul Sr. [Mastronardi] is very involved in the Walk. This is the cause that he has chosen and encourages his employees to support,” said his executive assistant Susie Gay. “He’s a fourth generation grower and he works very hard and wants to give back to the community and this is one way he does that,” she said. No matter who raises the most money, all funds raised go to the MS Society. “It’s great that they [Mastronardi] go all out for this cause… I’m just joking about beating them, but if there are any businesses out there who want to sponsor (Continued on Page 3)
Easter Egg Hunt fun
Three-year-old Hailey Kautman was one of hundreds of local children at the Kinsmen Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning, March 23. Hailey was ready to look for eggs at Seacliff Park on Saturday morning with her monkey hat, bunny basket and one glove off ready to pick up chocolate eggs. Volunteers from the Kinsmen Club were busy scattering eggs in different areas of the park for the varying age groups. If you missed the fun last weekend, there is another Easter Eggstravaganza this weekend, Saturday, March 30 at FGT Family Church at 285 Talbot St. E. starting at 10 a.m. until 12 noon. This is also a free event for children ages 2 - 11, but parents/guardian must be present.
