Lanark Snowsuit Fund

The Snowsuit program is open to any child or youth who needs warm winter outerwear. The program not only alleviates some financial stress for parents, but helps with self-confidence issues for the children – having an appropriate snowsuit and enabling them to participate in winter outdoor activities.   This year will mark the 28th anniversary of the Snowsuit Drive in Lanark county. Any family needi…ng winter clothing should contact Jeanette McGeough at Family & Children’s Services of Leeds, Lanark and Grenville (formerly Children’s Aid Society). She can be reached at 613-498-2100 Ext. 4187, or by email at Jeanette.mcgeough@fcsllg.ca.
The first distribution date of snowsuits is in November, so people should call soon

My Town’s Got Talent!

Auditions will take place throughout Lanark County the week of September 23rd (Perth -23; Smiths Falls – 24; Almonte – 25; Carleton Place – 26).  This is a great opportunity for youth, and this year the competition has been broadened to include a segment for Hosts and one for Designers to create a new logo for the event.  It is open to Grade 7-12 students in regular, home and faith based schools.  More information about the event, including registration forms, is available at www.mtgt.org. The event is a fund raiser for the United Way, with all funds raised directed directly back to the youth of the County.
