Lawrence’s IGA has been busy these past few weeks! Johnny and the staff presented a cheque to the Fitness Path working party for $4000 last week. The cheque was made up from the Community Chest loyalty point program which runs all year and is raised in a variety of ways including purchasing products with the IGA Community Chest logo printed on the label. Julie Middleton from the Fitness Path working party was thrilled to receive this injection of funds into the project, “Lawrence’s IGA has been so supportive of this community project and we are very grateful for this donation which will go towards landscaping the exercise sites” she said “the final piece of equipment, the ‘King Kong’, was installed last week and edging and mulching of this area will be happening in the near future.” The ‘King Kong’ is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and completes the circuit of fitness equipment that is now available at the Oval. The IGA also donated $4000 to the Canowindra Preschool from the Community Chest points collected. ‘We were delighted with the generosity and thank the community for supporting local businesses and their local preschool” says Adelaide Dunn, “the money will go towards equipment and improving the preschool.” When asked why johnny Lawrence chose to donate the money to these segments of the community he said, “I felt like they were worthy causes.” Keep up the generous work IGA!
