On December 23rd, Port Elgin Masonic Lodge #429 gave Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation an early Christmas gift.
The Lodge donated $8,000 that is to go toward the much-needed new X-ray machine. Originally, the donation was to be spread over five years but the Masons decided that a lump sum would be put to better use as part of the X-ray fundraising effort.
“These are very challenging times,” said Mason Thom Boulding, “so we thought the community needed this donation as a whole now and we wanted to be there to help.”
