Seniors Day centre says. thanks
To the editor
On behalf of the clients and the
Board of Directors of the Wingham
and Area Seniors Day Centre, for-
merly known as the Day Centre for
the Homebound, we would like to
thank all of the generous people,
who made a donation on the centre
during the last year. This interest in
the Day Centre is greatly appreci-
ated, Then cnntrihutt'ons anw
older adults and persons with dis-
abilities to live in their own homes
for as long as possible,by keeping
them active, happy and well in the
community.
Last year the Centre served 120
people ranging in age from 45 - 96
years of age from North Huron and
South Bruce Counties. Most of
these people wish to remain in their
own homes for as long as possible.
The Seniors Day Centre works with
several agencies whose goal is to
provide Home Support Services.
The Day Centre has undergone
several changes over the last couple
of years. The first being a name
change, additional staff, a new
location and the development of a
Day Away Program for those with
Alzheimers Disease or Related
Disorders. To coincide with the
development of the new facility,
automatic doors were installed to
promote ease of accessibility and
independence for participants of the
program. The doors cost $15,000.
The Day Centre has been able to
raise hal` of this money to date.
Grants are not available for this
project. The Day Centre only needs
$7,500 in order o , reach it's goal.
Donations to the centre are tax
deductible.
Any contribution or additional
contribution that you can make will
promote a positive self-image and
feeling of indepen .ylce among the
people who attend the program.
These people can enter the building
easily using wheelchairs or walkers.
without waiting in the cold for
someone to open the door.
If you can help in any way, either
by making a contribution, no matter
how small or huge, or participate in
a fund-raising project, please do not
hesitate to call the Day Centre at
3574440. 40. An open house will be
held the spring of 91. Hope to see
you there!
Sincerely,
Earl E. Hamilton
Chairperson and
Gloria Work aan
Director
Many may die
tram page 5.
In the deserts of Saudi Arabia, the
tanks rumble into position. Young
men and women who should have
much of their lives still before
them, wait under the burning sun
while those at home wait intensely
watching the developments.
We never knew the blunders that
the United States made and which
led down the path to this war which
we have . now become a part of.
And, if reason does not prevail, we
may never know them. Many of our
Canadian and American brothers
and sisters may die there in the hot
sand for mistakes others made and
then were not bright enough to
rectify without mass slaughter.
