The Municipality of Clarington conducted a feasibility study in the early 1990s to determine the need for an older adults centre. Since then, several locations have been proposed proposed for the centre, and the Town finally purchased the Lions Centre this year. Now, supporters arc busy coming up with ways to raise the $300,000 necessary necessary to furnish and buy equipment for the centre. So far, they've managed to raise about $72,000. Barbecues will be held in support of the centre Aug. 22 and Sept. 5 in front of Loblaws. Loblaws is contributing contributing the food and equipment, and the Older Adults Centre will receive 50 percent of what they make. As well, the group is selling t-shirts, and plans arc in the works to sell oranges and grapefruits in the new year. The major fundraising event will take place at the centre's Sept. 19 grand opening. The centre will be open that day from 11 a.m. till 3 p.m. with free programs and demonstrations. Food and refreshments will be sold to raise funds.
