Dignitaries and members gather to celebrate milestone anniversary
Le Club Richelieu in Sudbury celebrated a major milestone this past weekend — the group’s 75 anniversary.
Like many local service clubs, Richelieu Sudbury raises funds for local causes, but few clubs can say they raise as much money as Richelieu members. Through volunteering at bingos, hosting their annual lobster dinner and other efforts, the club gives its support to numerous local organizations, including Better Beginnings Better Futures, NEO Kids, Our Children Our Future, the Maison McCulloch Hospice, Place des Arts and Compass.
Gladu in particular wanted to tip his hat to Léo Lefebvre, the club secretary, for his organizational skills when it came to putting together the anniversary celebration and really “putting the heels in motion.” For his part, Mayor Paul Lefebvre touched on the work Club Richelieu members do to improve the lives of people in Greater Sudbury, regardless of what language they speak. The first word he used to describe Richelieu members was “generous.”
