Lions support Zurich
Thanks to the Zurich Lion's Club, the washrooms in the park have become a reality. In a check
presentation last week, Lions Club members handed mayor Bill Dowson a check for $15,000. Members
said they are proud to be part of the community and have also helped St. Boniface Catholic school get
a Trillium grant to fix up the soccer field. Shown here are Lions members Carl Finkbeiner, John Becker,
Shari Rolland, mayor Dowson, Richard Erb, Jim Zimmerman, Sherman Roth, Allan Fulker, Cecilia Fulker,
and Wayne Thiel.
