Flowers of Hope campaign
emphasizes achievement
Blood donor clinic
at SHDHS Mon., May 8 ,
“Look what you’ve done!”
That’s the theme of SH&D
Association for the Mentally
Retarded’s Flowers of Hope
campaign. It’s a tribute to
the citizens of this area.
“A decade ago a few per
sons met to discuss their
concerns for the mentally
handicapped. They devised
an approach and then asked
you for help.” This is a quote
from a pamphlet produced
for the campaign. It then
goes on to say: “Look what
you’ve done!”
Recently some 400 people
helped the Association
celebrate its ten year
history. One of the
highlights of the banquet
was the review of the rapid
growth of services in this
area to the handicapped.
The pamphlet briefly
describes these services
provided at ARC,
Dashwood, the two
residences, the nursery at
Alhambra Hall, south of
Grand Bend and Huron Hope
School now under the
jurisdiction of the Board of
Education.
Now that the Association
has a good basis for
providing services to the
handicapped, it is becoming
involved in the most fun
damental of all approaches
— prevention. The local
Association is one of the
first in the province to
spearhead an interest in this

direction.
The prevention com
mittee, under Mrs. Pat
Wright, Exeter, is looking at
several areas in its initial
research: schools, health
care, parent contact and
public awareness. An
eleven-goal program is en
visaged according to Mrs.
Wright.
The committee’s target is
to help young people and
mothers of child-bearing age
to become aware of how to
protect their future children
from handicapped con
ditions, as well as teaching
young parents how to help
their children grow through
infant stimulation.
The Association’s most re
cent acquisition is a white
and orange striped building
which will be located on the
ARC property at Dashwood.
The colorful structure will
house the bakery, begun
some months ago. Demand
for its food products has
prompted the expansion of
these facilities. Headed by
Dan Knight of Zurich the
enlargement of the non
government funded project
will provide employment for
more of the handicapped at
ARC.
