Lions Donate To Building Project
Last week, the Stanley Lions Club presented a check for $10,000 to go towards the building project at Mountrail County Medical Center. They are also pledging another $5,000 per year over the next six years.
The funds this year came from the golf cart raffle ticket sales and other fundraisers. Some of the funds have also come from memorials received, including some very generous memorials given in memory of their members who have passed away.
The Lions Club encourages other service organizations to consider donating to this project as well.
As the project continues on the nursing home side for the next few months, plans are to be able to have the residents move into their new home in March. Once the nursing home phase is complete, work will begin on the renovations for the hospital side of the project and then conclude with the addition of more apartments at Rosen Place.
Fundraising continues for the project with MCMC Administrator Steph Everett saying they still have a goal to raise another $3 million dollars.
