In his report, Mr. James said, "the activities of the board of directors this year have been a good deal more tranquil and.. for the most part. less dramatic than those that occurred during our first year as a duly elected board." The report added, "While statistical reports have • shown .a 'steady increase in the use of the centre by the public throughout the county the financial statment will show we arc still operating well within the • allocated budget." In pinpointing highlights of the past year from the board's minutes, Mr. James selected the establishment of a new salary scale and . adoption of a salary grill for centre employees, the adoption of a program of personnel practices and the hiring of two new staff members -'Dr. Tony Miller, a registered psychologist and Mrs Marilyn McMahon, who provides additional secretar- ial help. The final highlights mentioned in the chairman's report were the creation of a new brochure to publicize the purpose and activities of the Huron. Centre and the Exper- ience '78 program sponsored by the centre this summer. The Experience '78 project. was created for the purpose of establishing Big Brothers Associations in each of the major , centres of Huron County. Mr, James reported, "Each of the five towns (Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and Exeter) now has either an Association or has established a planning committee that will lead eventually to the establish- ment of an association.," Board Members In the meeting folloiving the two reports, Dr. Bruce Thomson, of the board's nomination committee, reported that Mrs. Ila Kayes of RR 3, Parkhill, was stepping down as a member of the board.
