Supporting Dementia in the Okanagan

The Okanagan Mission Lions Club donated over $1000 to the Alzheimer’s Society here in Kelowna. With a cheque presentation at a recent meeting and participating at the annual walk for Alzheimer’s, our support for dementia patients continues.

Jennifer Hamilton, the local Support and Education Coordinator for Alzheimer’s B.C. was handed a cheque after addressing our club. Jennifer is joined by Lion President Wes Van, and Lion Jim Lineger, who lives with dementia.

Ten Lions, six wives and seven Kelowna Lioness walked the track at the Capital News Centre in support of the cause. In total $1060 was donated by the Okanagan Mission Lions, all to support those suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
