The Natchitoches Regional Medical Center Foundation surprised Natchitoches Lion’s Club members with a $2,500 donation supporting their annual Louisiana Lion’s Camp in the name of Lita and Gene Spillman at it’s meeting on May 20.

Even though Gene has been a staple of the NRMC for over 50 years, Lita gets top billing for her hard work and time spent over the years cooking thousands of her famous meat pies for the kids at the camp each year.

This donation was possible thanks to the tremendous success of the hospital’s inaugural Steel Magnolia Run in March. Therefore, each and every participant and volunteer can take credit for making it possible!
