For one week, Tim Hortons guests had the opportunity to purchase chocolate chunk Smile Cookies for $1, with all proceeds from the sales sup- porting the local community. The restaurant owners proudly handed over the donation to the Huron -Perth Eat & Learn School Nutrition Program on October 28 at the Tim Hortons located at 300 Ontario Street in Clinton and all community members were invited to join in the celebration. "This year's campaign was a major success yet again and we have our loyal guests to thank for all of their wonderful generosity, "said Liz Borrow - man & Larry Zaleski, Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners. "We look forward to the Smile Cookie campaign every year because all of the proceeds go directly to the Huron -Perth Eat & Learn School Nutrition Program, a local organization. Clinton and Seaforth has once again come together to show its community spirit, helping to raise much needed funds for Huron -Perth Eat & Learn School Nutrition Program." "Thank you to everyone who purchased a Smile Cookie this week at Tim Hor- tons, you truly showed the power of a community com- ing together to support a great cause," said Nancy Fisher, Community Manager at the Huron -Perth Eat & Learn School Nutrition Program.
