One of the liveliest spots in the
Clinton area these days is the
Huron County Day Care Centre

has been open for seven weeks
and activities have been planned
to interest all the homebound
folks who have been coming out
to enjoy the companionship' of
others.
How do 'homebound' people get
to the Centre? Where no friends
or relatives are available, a
faithful band of volunteer drivers
are on hand to pick them up and
see that they reach the Centre in
time for the morning coffee
break--Which often includes
cookies right fresh from the oven,
baked by volunteers Or par-
ticipants in the programme.
Bakieg is just one of our ac-
tivities. "Painting for fun" hes
gotten Off to a good start under
the able and light hearted
direction of Hollis Manske.
There is always someone on
hand to play a game of euchre
and "fen and fitness" is as
popular as shuffleboard for
getting the folks loosened up in
the forenoon. Woodwork began
last week - John Talbot of
Seaferth has this project in hand
and the willing woodworkers are
making easels for the painters as
their first project„
Movies are planned for this
Thursday along with the other
activities and the third ThurSday
of every month has been set aside
for "footcare" when those who
find it hard to reach those tender
toOtsieS are ministered to, by the
gentle ladies of the public health
department.

all, and those of us at the Centre
for the Homebound are no ex-
ception. December 7, the Centre
plays host to all volunteers of
Huron County who have invited to
hear Karen Ross of the Central
Volunteer Bureau in London who
will conduct a workshop on the
subject of the rights and ex-
pectations of volunteers,
