Hot Dog & Soft Drink” fundraiser in L'Île-des-Soeurs
Islanders who need a break can head to the local Provigo’s parking lot (Le Village shopping center) on June 25-26-27, 2009 to enjoy delicious hot dogs and soft drinks. Once again, the Saint Lawrence Optimist Club, sponsored by Provigo, will be holding its “Hot Dog & Soft Drink” fundraiser to help fund their Optimist projects.
Optimist secretary-treasurer Joseph Quinn, tells us that they basically put together back-to-school packages for local under privileged students. They speak to the local principals in order to find out which of their students are most in need of supplies.
Residents of L'Île-des-Soeurs have always been very supportive of the Club activities. The Saint Lawrence Optimist Club also has Provigo’s store manager, Carole Surprenant, to thank for her support in this fundraiser.
