The Kelvington Lionelles have recently been named one of four community groups that will receive a 2017 Premier’s Service Club award.
“Looking at the impact made by each of these organizations, I am truly humbled by Saskatchewan’s drive to give back,” Premier Scott Moe said in a press release. “These groups and the individuals who dedicate themselves are an example to everyone of how selflessness and service can make our province a better place. Thank you on behalf of a grateful province to each of them for their tireless efforts.”
The Kelvington Lionelles have donated their time and money to numerous causes in the Kelvington area, including the Kelvington and Area Hospital, the Kelvington swimming pool, the Kelvington Food Bank, Kelvington Trailblazers, the Kelvington Walking Trail, and programs and scholarships within the Kelvington schools.
“Between 1984 and 2007, the Club has donated $159,600 and has raised between $5,000 and $10,000 every year for their community,” said the Lionelles biography that was included with the press release.
