ANGUS JOHN GILLIES, who is well known to fios readers for his occasional letters from Canada, has remembered the community he was brought up in in a very tangible form with a donation of £10,000 to the spòrsnis project. His cheque was received on Saturday by spòrsnis treasurer Christina Maclean.
Angus John - a close friend of Christina’s late father Ruairidh Bàn Morrison - has agreed to his donation being acknowledged publicly in the “hope that it might encourage others to contribute.” fios readers may recall an earlier, £10,000 private donation to spòrsnis which it has now revealed was also from Angus John - making an incredible total donation of £20,000 towards the new community facility being built at Lionel.
Calum Iain Macleod, sporsnis chairman said,
"This is absolutely wonderful news. The whole community will, I am sure, join all of us involved in the spòrsnis project, in warmly thanking AngusJohn for his truly generous contributions".
