Nine members from Perth County and three from Huron County were present. Following the general bu- siness, items for discussion included planning for the annual meeting to be held in early March with the theme of "Year of the Elderly" kept in mind.

In the nursing service report, Ms. Barry reported that Mrs. Sandra Sargent, an employee of VON Stratford office for the past six years, has relocated in the Sudbury area with her family and has accepted a position with the Sudbury Health Unit due to the unavailability of a posit- ion with the VON in that area.

Not unlike the rest of the country, the Perth-Huron VON branch is finding that with escalating costs, there will undoubtedly be a need to increase the 1982 fee per visit in order to continue to provide the quality of care that the public is accustomed to. The publicity and educat- ion committee is sending letters to invite requests to speak to public groups and service clubs to increase the awareness of the VON, thereby increasing the num- ber of donations to help keep the cost per visit to a minimum. The nominating committee too has been busy with its program to orientate new board members who will, in turn, relate the role of the VON to the public. The branch is actively seeking prospective board members from both counties, especial- ly Huron, who are willing to devote a bit of time to the management of the VON. Meetings are held monthly in areas of both counties to interest and accomodate new members. ton United Church. CONFIRMATION The Rt. Rev. M.C.
