LIONS LOSE A FRIEND DURING RADIOTHON PLANNING

Members of the Schumacher Lions Club had a special friend on their minds on Thursday, as they worked all day to raise money for the Stan Fowler Santa Claus Fund at the Moose FM Feeding Families Radiothon.

Shawn Connors died on November 25th.  This year’s Fowler chairman, John McCauley, says Connors ran the previous telethon for more than ten years.

”And he did a fantastic job.  He built up the Stan Fowler and he made it easier for the rest of us moving forward.”

McCauley adds that Connors’ death was reason for pause, during the planning for yesterday’s Radiothon.

 “We had a meeting,” McCauley recounts, “and we decided that we would dedicate this year’s Stan Fowler to Shawn, in honour of Shawn and just to show his family how much we cared about him.”

Lions members will gather for a memorial to Shawn Connors, next Thursday at the Schumacher Lions Club.
