Lori Greer reflects on Giving Tuesday
Cornwall Ontario — Lori Greer, executive director of the local United Way, wished volunteers a Happy Giving Tuesday.
“We are lucky to have amazing volunteers such as Nolan M. Quinn and Justin Watkins braving the cold to help give cookies to passersby during lunch time today! Thanks to Riley’s Bakery, Cornwall Ontario for the delicious cookies, and to the good friend who paid for the cookies, thank you. Happy Giving Tuesday United Way of S D &G,” said Lori Greer.
