Past
President Bonnie (Bonita Lynn) Grunwald died on Oct. 14, 2005 following a long
and courageous battle with cancer at age 47. Bonnie was a tireless volunteer with
Sooke District Lioness who honored her commitment to Lioness projects, even when
her own health was failing. One of Bonnie's special moments was when she as President
inducted her mother, Barbara Young into the Sooke District Lioness Club. Bonnie
was chosen Lioness of the Year for the Sooke District Lioness twice, last in 2004-2005.
The
Sooke District Lioness along with the Sooke Lions have supported the creation
of a gazebo in the meditative garden outside the Sooke Child, Family and Youth
Centre, a project of the Co-operative Association of Service Agencies (Sooke CASA).
A plaque in Bonnie's name has been placed on one of the benches donated by Sooke
District Lioness.
