Clark's National Dealers Association (CNDA) has presented a USD28,000 donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Lexington.

Darr FMH president and CNDA treasurer John Faulkner said the donation would help fund the installation of a new kitchen and dining room at RMHC, which has served 17,000 families since 1984.

"The Clark National Dealers Association was organised in 1991 by all of the North American Clark dealers," Faulkner said. "The association is extremely pleased to make this contribution to RMHC."

On hand at the cheque presentation (pictured) on October 25 were Faulkner, President, Darr marketing manager Maria Wagner, Equipment Depot president Don Moes, Equipment Depot vice-president general manager Vern Bailey and Clark president Brian Butler.

RMHC executive director Beth Blackman said: "This is the largest contribution to date for our kitchen and dining area. We depend totally on community donations like this one to accomplish our mission.

"Our house is 20 years old, and after a while, upgrades need to be made."
