Community Support
Each year CFUW Perth & District members hold fundraising events — including our Home & Garden Tour and bake sale for the Rideau Lakes Cylce Tour — to raise money we contribute to community libraries for children's summer reading programs and non-profit community service agencies in Lanark County.
