Kenbridge-Victoria Lions Club Holds 17th Annual Memorial Walk-a-thon

LUNENBURG – On Saturday, September 10, the Kenbridge-Victoria Lions Club held its 17th annual Ken Saunders Memorial Walk-a-thon fundraiser.  The event is held in honor of Ken Saunders, a deceased member of the club who initiated the fundraising walk in September of 2005.  

Ken, who was legally blind made the walk from Food Lion in Victoria to Shoppers Value in Kenbridge for 11 years before he died in 2017.  This year, 16 walkers made the trip in his memory.  

The Lions Club will use the funds raised from the walk to fund community projects, to assist the blind and other worthwhile projects.  The Lions Club is unique as a service club in that the members support the club with dues so that 100% of any money collected from the public goes back to the public in some way.  

The motto of the Lions Club is “We Serve”.  If you would like to contribute to the Lions Club or become a member, contact the Club President, Bonnie Alston at 696-3557.
