The Elder Citizens Rec Centre got $11,250 in grant money for stainless steel kitchen counters. Manager Joanne Smiley is thrilled with the show of support from the Community Foundation.
“They didn’t forget us,” Joann Smiley, general manager for the Elder Citizens Recreation Centre, said about getting $11,250 from the Prince George Community Foundation Interior Savings endowment fund.
All the seniors rec centre needed was a little boost for stainless steel counter tops to replace the old laminate ones and Smiley’s reaction was so heartfelt because it wasn’t just about the money for her. Catherine Pennington, president of the Prince George Community Foundation, said the foundation was honoured to award the grants for the important work the groups do in the community.
