Electric chair gives independence

Peninsula resident Ms Kelly Wrightson has said she can now look forward to more independence thanks to the donation of a $4000 electric chair by the Everglades Country Club.

Ms Wrightson was presented with the chair by the club on April 5.

President Mr Brian Crawley said Ms Wrightson's commitment and generosity to the club had not gone unnoticed.

"Kelly has attended our club over a number of years and has helped our club on many occasions," Mr Crawley said.

"Kelly has many friends at Everglades and it was our pleasure to present this chair to her for her use, now and in the future."

Mr Crawley said he trusts the donation will give Ms Wrightson a sense of independence and confidence.

In return, Ms Wrightson thanked the club for the donation.

"It means a lot to me that all my friends at the club wanted to do this for me and I greatly appreciate [their] kindness," Ms Wrightson said.

"I love my new chair.

"It gives me more independence and makes it much easier to get around both inside and outside."
