t finally happened - on 21 January 2022, at the Port Dover Legion, the Ace was caught after several breaks due to the pandemic. It was week #20 and John Lloy picked envelope #12 - inside was the Ace of Spades! John received $500.00 for the ticket pulled and he accepted the grand prize of $15,000.00 for finding the Ace of Spades. Congratulations to John! In the photo, Gail Bouw of the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise is presenting the cheque to winner John Lloy. Standing by is Judy Buck from the PD Legion.
Gail Bouw writes in that; "When we did the draw, I phoned John that his ticket was pulled and could he come down to the Legion to pick up a cheque. John lives a couple of blocks away from the Legion - he walked into pick up his $500 cheque (his ticket was pulled). We presented John with $500.00. Then I turned to him and announced that he found the Ace of Spades - he broke down with tears he was so very happy. This week he had a car accident (not his fault) and the insurance company wrote off his car. So he was worried that he did not have a car. Now he can buy a car.”
Once again the Catch the Ace fundraiser has been an overwhelming success; not just as a significant fundraiser but also as a means for setting out and maintaining considerable connections with the Norfolk community. The word is that there’s a demand for another license!
As a new part of the RCNS community fundraising work, the club notes its supportive, platinum-level community sponsors; Gail Bouw Real Estate, Malo Family Dentistry, MHN Lawyers, Unilever Canada (see other sections at our website for details) as well as to, more generally, thank everyone involved for the support needed to bring this, its fifth license to such a successful close.
