The Easter Seal Campaign raises funds in support of physically disabled children. This year the club has set its sights on raising $2200.00 during the month-long ap- peal and Easter Seal Chairman, Ken Har- man, is confident this target can be achieved. "The people. of Lucknow and area have always been -very generous in their sup- port of physically disabled children," said Ken. "Children living right here in our area and thousands of others across the province have progressed because of this assistance. Our club has always been firm- ly committed to this important work and we will continue to put every effort into en- suring quality services and programs are maintained for Easter Seal kids." The Easter Seal Society of Ontario is one of the oldest and largest children's organization of its kind in North America. Since its origin in 1922, it has also remain- ed one of the most independent charitable organizations in Canada receiving less than three percent of its annual funding from government sources. For this reason, the Society depends heavily upon the volunteer efforts of 228 af- filiated service clubs. These clubs are in- strumental in spearheading local appeals and administering Easter Seal funds on behalf of children and families in their communities. Each year, more than 7,000 children benefit from the provision of vital equip- ment and services such as: wheelchairs, braces, artificial limbs, the opportunity to experience a camping holiday at one of five Easter Seal camps, transportation to treatment centres, extensive research and prevention programs, and much more. The Society also employs 38 Easter Seal Nurses located in 23 district offices throughout the province who are specially trained m.rehabilitation and public health nursing. Through home visits they provide direct assistance to children and parents. "The courage and determination of physically disabled children is an inspira- tion to all of us," said Ken Harman. "All they need is a little more understanding and a little more support toprogess in life. I know the people of Lucknow and area will continue to show they care by backing these young fighters through Easter Seals."
