Pasta Dinner May 30, 2014 To Support Local Family



On Saturday May 10, 2014 a tragic accident on the 401 took the lives of two members of our community.  Alyssa Smulders, 13, and her Uncle Marc Lafontaine, 35, both of Windsor were killed when a truck crossed the open median near Chatham, ON.

In an effort to assist the family with funeral and living expenses during this trying time, several benefits, and a fund have been set up for those wishing to make donations.

The following events are being held:

A benefit dinner will be held at the Moose Lodge 777 Tecumseh Rd. W. on Friday May 30th, 6PM
Tickets are $15 at the door, $10 of which to go to the family.


A benefit Poker tournament is being held at Lauzon Landing 1545 Lauzon Rd, on Saturday May 31st, at 1pm.  The tournament will have a buy-in of $50, with half the prize pool going to the family.  There will be additional door prizes, and a portion of all food and beverage sales are going to the family.

Additionally, several funds have been set up to receive donations.  You can donate online at Youcaring.com. Search Denise Lafontaine or click on: http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/help-needed-to-offset-cost-of-double-funeral/177110

A trust account has been created.  Donations can be made in person at any Bank of Montreal Branch, account: 3547 2 001 8984-416.  Any cheques written can be made out to “IN TRUST ALYSSA.”
