The United Commercial Travellers (UCT) showed their community spirit with a cheque presentation to the Dufferin Villa project.

Al BraunUCT Unit 923 local president Dennis Zwarich explains why they gave $1,000 to this cause.

"Ruth Brownridge made a presentation to us. I looked around our boardroom and we have a lot of people that will probably be taking advantage of that facility, I'm quite sure," notes Zwarich. "I wish them very well in their project. It's a huge venture. It's like everything else. It only works if you have enough volunteers."

Assisted Living project chair Al Braun says it's wonderful to see UCT contribute to their fund.

"The overall goal we are closing in on is $500,000," adds Braun. "However, we don't anticipate to stop at $500,000. We probably are looking to do beyond that."
