Lakeland Healthcare trustees accept $10,000 unrestricted donation
Summary
The Lakeland Healthcare Center Board of Trustees accepted a $10,000 donation from Suzanne Bucher to support resident needs; board approved routine agenda and minutes earlier in the meeting.
The Lakeland Healthcare Center Board of Trustees voted to accept an unrestricted $10,000 donation from Suzanne Bucher at its Jan. 22 meeting.
The donation, presented to the board as an end-of-year gift, was described as intended for “different resident needs, whether it's a new piece of therapy equipment or activity outings or new patio furniture,” though the board and staff said a final use has not been decided. Denise (Lakeland staff) told trustees the contribution arrived without conditions and staff will report back once they determine how the funds will be spent.
The board’s acceptance came by motion from Supervisor Brian Holt and a second (not specified on the record). Chair Ken Monroe called for a voice vote; the motion carried. Trustees asked staff to send a thank-you note to the donor.
