Toronto Suomi Lions Giving Donation of $1000 to Suomi Koti
On February 9, 2014, Toronto Suomi Koti, the Finnish Senior Nursing Home, received $1000 donation from its long term donor, Toronto Suomi Lions Club.
Juha Mynttinen, the administrator of Suomi Koti happily takes the donation from Lion President Charlie, and Secretary Sisko.
Later that day, those Lions also went up to the 7th floor and paid a visit to their long term club member Lion Risto Puhakka, who lives in Suomi Koti since last year.
Visiting Senior Club Member Lion Risto Puhakka at Suomi Koti
Lion Risto Puhakka has been a long term club member for decades. He is living in Suomi Koti at this time for better care and support.
Due to his physical and medical condition, his doctor suggests him not go to club meeting as he did before. So on February 2nd, 2014, on behalf of the Toronto Suomi Lions Club, current club president Lion Charlie, club treasurer Lion Sisko, and Past District Governor Lion Ilkka went up to the 7th level of Suomi Koti, and visited Lion Risto.
Lion Risto was watching TV shows with other seniors when the visitors came in. He was very happy to see his fellow club members, sat down with them, and started talking.
“I was told by my doctor that I shouldn’t walk too much. So I bought a car…” He spoke slowly, but he can still talk freely and lightly.
It was such a pleasant visit, that the assistant manager helped take a picture for them. More pictures are also available here.
On the same day, Toronto Suomi Lions Club also donated $1000 to Suomi Koti.

100 Used Eyeglasses Donated to Lions’ Recycle For Sight by Carter MacLean
On October 26th 2013, a Grade 7 school boy by the name of Carter MacLean donated about 100 used eyeglasses to Toronto Suomi Lions Club, after having done an online search of used eyeglasses recycling, and found out that the club can help get it done.
He has been collecting used eyeglasses since grade 5 at Upper Canada College. Lion President Charlie Wang has also left him with an official LCI Recycle For Sight collection box, which he happily accepted and agreed to see if it could be possible to start the LCI Recycle For Sight project in his school. What a remarkable young man!
