"But, it has been around and has been a huge part of the hospital, right from the very first hospital, which was a house." The house/hospital was on the com er of McDonald and Chartwell streets. In 1943-44, the club helped purchase a property on First Street, which became known as the Oakville Temporary Hospital -- the first health care facility in town, Allison said. "W e look at the community, w e see needs that are there. W e try to help to meet those needs, large and small. That's who we are and that's what we do," said Allison. The Oakville Lions eventually turned over the deed to the property to the board of governors of the now-Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Proceeds of the sale were used to help finance the OTMH on Reynolds Street at the time. The temporary hospital became a private residence. To celebrate the club's 80th anniversary in 2 0 1 5 , it donated The numbers and activity participation gradually improved in the '5Os and the club took on its largest pledge at the time -- $ 2 2 ,0 0 0 to the OTMH for a pediatric wing. While isn't known how many members it had when it began, there are currently 44, according to Allison. He said the popularity of service clubs has created competition among them to attract new members, leading to a depletion in numbers in some chapters including Oakville's.

"Our emphasis is on getting younger members," Allison said. see Club on p.31 Chiropody (Foot Care & Custom Made Orthotics) Sore Feet/Arch/Heel? Ingrown Toenails? Plantar Warts? Hard to Cut Toenails?
