Luncheon has been warm- ing hearts, lives and tum- mies in the dead of winter for 29 years now. This year, the agency's annual fundraising lunch- eon on Friday, February 10 at the Goderich Legion, is expanding to include a warm welcome to the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund Awards, to be included as part of the day's festivities and program. The Dave Mounsey Memo- rial Fund was created in Octo- • ber 2009 to honour the dedi- cation that PC Dave Mounsey of the OPP had to his commu- nity and to donate life-saving defibrillators to public access buildings. Since its creation, the Fund has donated 63 defi- brillators, mostly in Huron County, in the memory of fallen Police, Corrections, Fire, EMS and Military members who died in the line of duty. Two lives have been saved with DMMF defibrillators. In 2012, the Fund wanted to further 'give back' to the com- munity and created the Order of the Good Samaritan as a thank you to those commu- nity volunteers who donate their time to make their com- munities better. The Order is broken ddwn into: • Sgt Margaret Eve Award for Volunteer of the Year • Cpl Matthew Dinning Award for Volunteer for Vet - It takes a well-run volunteer effort to organize, assemble, deliver and serve over 850 lunches at the annual Community Living Central Huron Heartwarming Luncheon at the Goderich Legion, Friday, Feb: 10.

The Dave Mounsey Memo- rial Fund was founded by OPP Patrick Armstrong in 2009 in honour of OPP Constable Mounsey of Blyth who died in a single -car accident while on duty. Mounsey was a volun- teer firefighter and was involved in local organiza- tions and before his death was training, along with his part- ner Brenda, for an organized run to raise money to place a defibrillator for the local fire department. The popular annual Run Around the Square in Goder- ich in May raises funds for the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund for the purchase of life- saving defibrillators placed in public facilities, mostly in Huron County. NOTICE MID -HURON LANDFILL SITE= The Mid -Huron Landfill site will be closed on Wednesday February 22, 2017 due to staff training for health and safety requirements including the handling of hazardous materials.
