Chapter Two: New Directions is
the title of a one day conference
which will take place on Thursday,
November 12 in Clinton. Sponsor
ed by the Huron County Communi
ty Services Council, this confer

when participants helped toidenti-
fy needs, gaps and overlaps in
services provided to those in the
county such as the physically and
developmentally handicapped,
youth, older adults and those with
mental health problems or other
special needs.
Mrs. Joan Spittai, chairperson
of the conference planning com
mittee, said the conference will be
held at Huronview because of its
easy accessibility and the avail
ability of separate areas for the
individual workshops. Topics for
the various workshops will be
announced. Spittai said, as soon as
the resource people and panelists
have been finalized. The registra

attendance at three workshops,
lunch and coffee breaks. Persons

hearing impaired) or funding, in
order to attend this conference
should contact either Jean Young
or Bev Brown at 357-3222 or

cies, to become better acquainted

other in their quest to improve the
