Lion’s Club gives to CRMC’s Golden Window The Cullman Times By Trent Moore
trentm@cullmantimes.com Outgoing Cullman Lion’s Club President Charles Pinkston made one last gesture as his time in office came to an end Monday night at the club’s installation of officers meeting for 2008-2009. “We wanted to do something that would be beneficial to a lot of people in Cullman,” Pinkston said. So, Pinkston and the Cullman Lion’s Club donated $50,000 to Cullman Regional Medical Center to go toward the hospital’s Golden Window Campaign for emergency room service upgrades and improvements. Chester Freeman, honorary co-chair of the CRMC Foundation and Cullman Lion’s Club member, said the donation to CRMC is a great way to make a positive impact on many people living in the county. “It’s in the best interest of the community because everyone in the community uses those facilities,” he said. “We (Lion’s Club) get our money from the community, so we wanted to give something back.” By helping the hospital, the donation would be able to affect more people than just Lion’s Club members, Pinkston said. “It’s not just for the club members, but for everyone,” he said. Pinkston said he sees the hospital as an asset for the people of Cullman. “Quality healthcare is not something we should take for granted,” he said. Co-chair of the Golden Window Campaign Clint Frey said Cullman Lion’s Club set the bar for community support for the campaign. “We have asked the community to step forward and support this project,” he said. “You all have helped establish a great benchmark.” CRMC President & CEO Jim Weidner said he was ecstatic to receive the donation. “On behalf of the hospital it is my privilege to accept and thank you,” he said.
