The Dauphin Island Woman’s Club held a check-presentation ceremony on June 24 at the Dauphin Island Welcome Center to award donations to several organizations on the island. The following groups reaped benefits from the club’s Gumbo Cook-Off and Silent Auction, held in conjunction with Dauphin Island Chamber of Commerce in April: Dauphin Island Foundation Education Fund, represented by Lamona Lucas, received $1,800 for the purchase of laptop computers for the incoming fourth-grade class at Dauphin Island Elementary School. Another $1,800 went to the Foundation to be held in escrow for the eventual development of a Community Center Building: Lawrence Trotter accepted that donation. Brad Cox accepted $1,000 for Dauphin Island Fire and Rescue to be used for training and equipment. $500 was designated for the Sand Island Lighthouse restoration project and was accepted by Pat Edwards. $500 was awarded to the Dauphin Island Cat Coalition for spaying/neutering of feral cats on the Island: the donation was accepted by Caroline Norton. John Porter accepted a $1,000 award for the Dauphin Island Bird Sanctuaries to be used for land acquisition for critical habitat. |
