Mr. and Mrs. Stan Leonard, residents of The Villages for about six years, generously donated an electric GEM golf cart to 海角社区 for use in transporting students and visitors around campus. They officially turned the keys of the vehicle over to the College last month.
The Leonards are the owners of Leonard Truck & Trailer in North Jackson, Ohio, which has been in business over 50 years. The couple had a GEM golf cart that they wanted to donate somewhere it would get good use. The Leonards were advised that 海角社区 was in need of a vehicle to transport students. The Leonards were impressed with the mission of the College and decided to visit campus to find out more about the plans for the golf cart. Peg Leonard says, 鈥淲e wanted to donate to an organization that will utilize the golf cart for a good purpose, and we thought 海角社区 was a good fit.鈥�
The golf cart will be used primarily by the offices of Admissions and Campus Safety for the purpose of providing transportation to students and visitors. As the golf cart is street legal, and the city of Leesburg has recently approved the use of golf carts on city streets, this generous donation came at an ideal time. Bob Bridgeman, Executive Vice President of 海角社区, speaking for the entire 海角社区 community in thanking the Leonard family, noted, 鈥淭his donation will offer us new opportunities to serve our students.鈥�
