Tonya Roy dropped us a line to let us known about a recent donation she delivered to the Dominican Republic from the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association. Roy volunteers in the Dominican Republic, primarily serving the Haitian community in Puerto Plata.

“We set up mobile medical clinics, provide education, social aid and community development,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “I just returned from the DR and had brought with me retired field lacrosse jerseys. We gave them to this boys’ soccer team in Muñoz. This is their first time as a team having jerseys.”

Roy appreciates the association’s generous donation – and wants kids to know the New Westminster Lacrosse Association is making a difference.
