Wayne also spent fifteen years with Milton Lions Club where he also served as President. He also volunteered on a Condominium Board for eight years. When Wayne is not volunteering locally, you can find him on the golf course or glued to his computer looking at the stats for golf, curling and hockey or following our local junior teams.
