Palmerston Legion makes donation to hospital foundation

Legion donates to hospital – The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 409 in Palmerston presented the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation (PDHF) with a cheque for $10,000 on Jan. 16. The donation was made from proceeds of the Legion’s popular Catch the Ace draw, held each Friday night at Branch 409. Dale Franklin, development officer for PDHF, said the foundation would not have made its radiothon goal of $100,000, to pay for hospital building security upgrades, without this donation.
