8th Chalk River Robbie Burns Raises $2,604 For Closer To Home

What a fantastic evening it was celebrating the legendary poet and Scottish icon, Robert Burns, at the Chalk River & Area Lion's Club on Saturday! The haggis flowed (with a reported 21 pounds available) and the pipes bellowed. Attendees collectively donated a bonnie sum of $2,604 towards Closer To Home helped by a generous 1:1 match provided by a private sponsor. Special thanks to Doug Tennant, Jeannie Tilson, Renegades Pipes and Drums, Chalk River & Area Lion's Club, and the Chalk River Haggis Breeder Program for the heroic effort required to host an event like this. This was the 8th year of the event.
