for $45,000.00 in funding has been submit-
ted in' February to help carry on some of
the community work done by Women To-
day in the past 3 years through another
project. Community support for the pro-
posal has been good, coming from agen-
cies such as the Huron County Health Unit
and the Huron County Community Ser-
vices Council. •
The project will concentrate on pro-
viding women with information and educa-
tional opportunities concerning health
issues, presenting the self-help group.

health as well as the health of others. They
will also provide women with the oppor-

self-help groups by providing them with
facilitator training.

Presbyterian
The Lucknow Presbyterian Evening
Auxiliary met in the church basement for
their regular meeting on May 17, with 14
ladies present.
Mrs. Jim Aitchison chaired the meeting
and opened with a poem "We Change",
followed by a hymn.
The scripture and meditation was given
by Mrs. Frank Hawthorne and the WMS
Purpose repeated in unison.
Rollcall was answered with $5.00 pay-
ment for the bale fund and the offering
received. Minutes of the last two meetings
were read and approved followed by the
business and correspondence.
Mrs. Josh MacDonald presented the
topic based on chapter four of the Study
Book on Russia.
Mrs. Ralph Cameron read several in-
teresting and amusing poems.
The closing hymn was sung, followed by
the benediction. A lunch and social time
followed.
Some of the specific activities planned to
achieve these goals are educational events
presented to the public on issues such as
menopause, pre-menstrual syndrome and
stress. Women Today has produced a
video on it's work with facilitator training
and self-help groups as health promotion
tools. This will be used in public speaking
engagements with church groups,
women's clubs etc. as further health pro-
motion education. Also planned are
workshop series in the villages to include
topics such as self-esteem, body image,
communication skills and dealing with
conflict. Finally, there will be facilitator
training sessions to teach women how to
start up self-help groups. These activities;
while focused on women are not restricted
to them only. Although the programs will
not get underway until this fall, anyone in-
terested in more information may contact
the Women Today Office at 56 Huron St.,
