Tunis Shriners - Land O' Lakes

This past October, The Land O' Lakes Shriners donated $3,000 to your Foundation through the Hustle & Heart 88.1 myFM Radiothon. For almost a decade the Land O' Lakes Shriners have committed themselves to ensuring quality healthcare is always close to home through their many fundraisers and initiatives.

Through their golf tournaments and can collection program, they have been able to support multiple local hospitals, putting the best tools and resources in the hands of your medical staff. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to your communities.

This day is an opportunity to celebrate the men among our patients, residents, and community members, and to remind ourselves to check in, reach out, and support one another.
How we can uplift men’s well-being:
• Encourage open conversations about mental health

Today, we join communities around the world in recognizing International Men’s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating positive male role models and raising awareness about the mental, emotional, and physical health of men and boys. 💙

At the Mississippi River Health Alliance we are proud to honour the men across our teams who show compassion, skill, leadership, and resilience in the care they provide every day.

This day is also an opportunity to celebrate the men among our patients, residents, and community members, and to remind ourselves to check in, reach out, and support one another.

Few people know about this — but it’s one of the smartest ways to give!

You can name a charity as a beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF. You don’t give up what you need for retirement but you could make a meaningful impact on the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation with whatever’s left.

Here’s why it makes so much sense:

☑️ You keep what you and your family need
☑️ Whatever’s left can go to charity
☑️ Cancel out taxes on your RRSP

☑️ It’s quick, flexible, and free to set up

🎄🍪 'Tis the season for cookies!🎄🍪

We volunteered alongside these amazing women to decorate Holiday Smile Cookies at Tim Hortons Almonte, in support of Lanark County Food Bank-The Hunger Stop and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Who doesn't love a cookie that tastes good AND does some good, too?! Holiday Smile Cookies will be available all week so go ahead and purchase some for yourself, your friends, family and neighbour and share some love one smile at a time.

Rob Scott

Rob Scott joined our AGH-FVM Foundation Board in March of 2017, became our Finance Committee Chair and soon after was appointed as Chair of the Foundation Board from 2018-June 2025. His commitment to the Board and Foundation teams, the hospital-manor and to the community which they serve is as strong as it is heartfelt. To say we are grateful to him is an understatement. Rob's leadership, knowledge and support contributed greatly to the growth and success of the Foundation.

When he wasn't sitting at the board room table, he'd be hosting fundraisers with the Almonte Curling Club, selling lottery tickets and volunteering at our AGH Golf Classic. Rob walks the walk, talks the talk, and we are so grateful to call him a friend.

Thank you to the Almonte Legion Pipe Band Branch 240, Almonte Legion and Christa Lowry, Mayor of Mississippi Mills for leading the Remembrance Day Service at Fairview Manor on Friday. We were all very blessed to hear Fairview Manor resident and World War II Veteran, Mr. Chance, recite 'In Flanders Fields'.

It was a beautiful service, honouring all of those who have served and continue to serve our great nation.

A huge thank you to Scot Moore and Lisa Peters of Tim Hortons Almonte for donating the hot chocolate! We're so grateful for your support.

Bob McGlynn

Just as the title says, Bob is our friend but ALSO an incredible volunteer and donor. When he's not sitting on the AGH Golf Classic Planning Committee you can find him selling raffle tickets for us, volunteering for all things needed for the AGH Run for Women's & Newborn Health, handing out Smile Cookie order forms and always sharing information on the work of the Foundation. All the while spreading M&Ms (mirth and merriment) and, if you're lucky, biscotti's.

When Bob isn't walking about town (sometimes backwards), he is always keeping a close eye on your Foundation staff, popping in to "make sure we're still here" and treating us with hugs, laughter and support. His visits are one we always look forward to, and we are beyond grateful for his love and commitment to this community.

So if you see Bob, give him a high five and a thank you...he doesn't have Facebook or any social media ☺️

We cherish your stories and written notes of gratitude for the care, comfort and kindness provided everyday by the staff, physicians and volunteers of the Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor, Lanark County Paramedic Service and the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team.

Has a member of our team provided you or a loved one with extraordinary care? Nothing is more precious than hearing the words "Thank You" from a patient, resident or family member who truly appreciates their efforts.

Simply make a minimum donation of $25 to the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation and your Angel will receive acknowledgement of your appreciation and a Guardian Angel lapel pin to wear with pride.

If you have an Angel you would like to nominate, contact Cheryl Moore at chmoore@mrha.ca.

💍💎They say that the Louvre thieves have been captured...... but have they??💍💎

🎃When your AGH-FVM Foundation aren't stealing hearts (or prized artifacts, which we haven't), we're having fun with the amazing team at the AGH and Fairview Manor and letting our big kid energy fly. Halloween on this campus is pretty special!

⚾💙 We hope you all have a fun, safe and candy filled evening. Keep dry (if you can) and GO JAYS, GO!
