This is the member statement made by Judy Junor, MLA, on the floor of the Saskatchewan Legislature on November 12, 2009: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last Friday, November 6, Saskatoon Downtown Lions Club generously presented CARG, the Coronary Artery Rehabilitation Group, with a cheque for $3,600. CARG is a self-help, volunteer, non-profit group dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle for persons with cardiac problems, with the assistance of cardiac specialists. CARG offers group support and fellowship, an opportunity to participate in a supervised exercise program, and continuing educational and supportive events. This recent donation of 3,600 will be used to purchase stationary bikes at the new Shaw Centre. I'd like to thank the president of CARG, Dr. Mohindar Sachdev; vice-presidents, Dennis Johnson, Peter Scott; and volunteer, Antoinette Honoroski. In particular I'd like to recognize my constituent, Dan Danaher, first vice-president of CARG. The Saskatoon Lions Club, CARG's most recent donor, has been providing quality community programs in our community for decades, including blind bowling, blind skiing, diabetes awareness, the sled dog track meet, and the Saskatoon Speed Skating Club, just to name a few. They also operate the Lions eye bank, Lions guide dogs, and the Lions Band. I would like to thank Mike Slonowski, Marlene Korpan, and Bob Belke from the Saskatoon Downtown Lions Club for their dedication and contribution. Mr. Speaker, I ask all members to join me in thanking the Saskatoon Lions Club for their generosity, and in thanking the executive and participants of CARG for making us aware of our need to be heart-smart. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
