Stewart and Grace Donnelly of Lefroy were guests of honor at a farewell party and presentation on Saturday night at the South Innisfil Community Centre. Master of ceremonies Don McNabb, in a jovial manner, recalled events in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly including their community involvement. A presentation of a pair of matching chairs was made on behalf of the large crowd of friends and relatives attending. Sinclair Stevens (MP York-Simcoe) also took the opportunity to recognize the couple's work for the party. The recipients are seen here with Mr. Stevens and Don McNabb(right). The Donnellys will be moving soon to Sundridge.
