Lions Club Makes a Big Splash

Members of the Morrisburg and District Lions Club stopped by the Children's Playground Park in the Earl Baker park in Morrisburg, Monday night to drop off a cheque...$20,000 enough to allow the Children's Splash Pad Committee to put the wraps on the fundraising effort for their project. The stakes, marking the location of the Splash Pad are in the ground and preliminary excavation is expected to be done later this week. The Splash Pad Company is scheduled to arrive Monday and should take about one week to complete the Splash Pad.
