Lambton College's Capital Campaign $100,000.00 Richer.

From Paul Morden, Sarnia Observer.

Recent donations have moved Lambton College’s capital campaign $100,000 nearer to its $7-million goal.

Along with $50,000 Point Edward village council committed over five years, the campaign received $50,000 from the Judith and Norman Alix Foundation.

“We were thrilled,” said Marc Guilbeault, director of the Lambton College Foundation.

“The fact that they chose to support post-secondary education in Sarnia was really meaningful for us.”

The $50,000 donation by the Sarnia-based Alix Foundation will support two intensive care units in the Nova Chemicals Health and Research Centre under construction at the college.

The centre is part of a $47-million expansion at the Sarnia college, which also includes an athletics and fitness complex, as well as renovations and expansion to the Centre for Excellence in Energy and Bio-Industrial Technologies.

The $7-million Envision Tomorrow Capital and equipment renewal campaign is part of the funding for the projects also supported by several levels of government and other sources.

“The campaign is going very well,” said college spokesperson Cindy Buchanan.

“We’re about to make a bunch of announcements and recognition in the coming months of a bunch of money that has been donated or earmarked to be donated to the campaign.”

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
