Mrs. Hollingsworth is a graduate of McMaster University and brings con- siderable experience, having worked ex- clusively in community nursing in Hamilton, Huron County, and lately as Supervisor of Nursing Services and Acting Executive Director for Grey -Bruce VON. The local Branch has undergone phenomenal growth over the last five years, the fastest growth in the agency's history. And as the trend continues for more health care and convalescence in the home, no doubt this growth will continue. The Board of Management feels very con- fident that Mrs. Hollingsworth will provide the leadership to allow VON to continue its high level of home nursing commitment that our two counties have come to expect. The year 1987 is a special one in the history of this Canada -wide organization. This year marks 90 years of service to Canadians, providing appropriate health care while allowing the, people to remain in the familiar surroundings of their homes. 1987 also marks 50 years since the beginn- ing of VON services in Owen Sound and the counties of Grey and Bruce. A special 50th Anniversary Dinner and Dance is to be held at the Owen Sound arena on Friday, June 5, to celebrate a wonderful half century of steady growth and outstanding service to this community. ,Lucknow and area bowling OW Mixed Couples (Playoffs ) Team Standings Congratulations to the Wolverines who won the playoffs by beating the Gophers by 11/2 points!
