From Bureau
Huronview uses lots of volunteers,.
One •of the busiest users, "of
volunteer services in Huroriview,
the Huron County home fdr the
aged, at Clinton. Huronview
employs volunteers 'both as
,4 i • ndividual helpers and in the form
of resource groups - such as
church and service clubs. To carry
on the variety of activities for
residents, more volunteers are
always needed to assist recreation
director Bob Taylor, and the
Volunteer Bureau would be happy
hear from anyone interested in
,..Ming involved.
Activities include: Sunday
evening song services twice a
month, old-time music programs
on Mondays, Tuesday family-
nights, Wednesday games' after-
noons, Thursday Bible studies
and organ music, and 'Friday
bingos - something for everyone.
Volunteers at Huronview come
from a varied sampling of
interested `groups; the Christian
Reformed .Church, the Goderich
Township Women's Institute, the
Pentecostal Tabernacle in Exeter.
The Volunteer Bureau is
pleased with the successful
placement ,of volunteers°, Ed
Zeale. Mr. Zeale 'helps with
everything from the music
programs .arid bingos to the
monthly birthday party, held for
all the celebrants in that month.
For all these socials and music
entertainments it is necessary to
see that all the residents who
want to attend are able to get to
the auditorium on time.
This means starting in advance
to bring those in wheelchairs (as
many as 60 or 70) to the
auditorium individually. To
accomplish this in a reasonable
time, the recreation director
might be assisted by perhaps, half
a dozen volunteers, individuals
like Mr. Zeale, or a group from a
church or service organization
that lends a hand.
The volunteer must be an
understanding and personable
helper. It is very important that
friendship and co-operation
prevail, and that the residents be
regarded on personal terms, not
as patients or boarders in an
