Alzheimer
program
A Di 1ranrion woman, Virginia eaesar,
'has taken on the role of .entrepreneiw
forming and registering her own com-
pany, Tiv the Down Slide. 'The company
was formed in March of 1989 with Mrs.
Caesar as sole proprietor. While she is
the •only employee of the c ompany
presently, her long term goal is lo have
a network or sales people working for
her.
Mrs. Caesar had always dreamed off
hating her own business carrying young
thildrent wear, maternity 3e1othes and
baby furniture. Ite idea came to fruition
a little early than expected, when she
was faced withquit' ling her job and ten-
ding their wee daughter, Colleen, who at
18 months required major surgery.
In the spring this year, she spent a
great deal of time searching for a line of
band crafted clothes, finally settling on
Itarnival Kreations out of London. She
recalls that thectic time .and relates the
problems .she was having to decide on a
name for her business. One evening while
reviewing what young Co'Lleen.had been
up to that day, the name 'presented itself
- lip the. Slide - that was just what
Colleen had been doing.
g your own business is no easy
chore as Mrs. Caesar found out mid sum-
mer, when she contacted her supplier
who informed her that due to health
reasons, a fall line could not be supplied.
The search was on again for a new sup-
plier with Mrs. Caesar contracting with
Rug Rats to provide her fall line.
Up the Down Slide offers an exclusive
line :of clothing; it cannot he pmrhased
in.stores. Articles are high quality, hand
crafted, mostly sewn from 100 percent

cotton. Some articles are an 85 percent
cotton, 15 percent polyester blend. AlIL ar-
ticles 'fit larger than commercially pur-
chased. For example a one year overall
fits the same as a 24 month overall.
The basic pieces of clothing change for
the individual buyer's personal taste.
There are different colours to choose
from, various trims can he added,
buckles or suspenders to give each order
a distinct look.
The business also carries locally hand
crafted baby quilts, a selection of small
toys and a line of "See Inside" puzzles,
which gives the child two ways of utiliz-
ing the puzzle.
Presently Mrs. Caesar displays at
home parties or open houses for in-
terested buyers. Orders are placed and
delivered within three weeks. Some time
in the future, Mrs. Caesar intends to
have e store front location for her
business.
Mrs. Caesar, a Certified Professional
Secretary, is an excellent example of en-
trepreneurship in rural Ontario, combin-
ing her experience in the banking hi -
dusty and financial a, ,01, 'on field
to help make her :dream come true. Her
long term goal is to build her business to
a full time occupation with a network of
sales people working for her.

A newly formed Alzheimer Program of
Huron County was set up in response to
a growing local need to identify, educate
and give assistance to individuals and
their families with ALtheimer's Disease.
The goals/objections are to:
1. identify gaps in existing services in
Huron County as identified by service
delivers
2. determine the quantity and type of
support indicated by families
3. to facilitate community development,
planning and public education
4. develop, organize and facilitate fami-
ly support groups throughout the County
of Huron. 5. provide, where appropriate,
personal counselling services to persons
with Alzheimer Disease living in a non -
institutional setting. 6. Provide, where ap-
plicable, personal counselling services to
persons involved with Alzheimer Disease.
This program is made possible through
funding from the Ministry of Community
and Social Services; the supervision of
Ken Engelstad, Executive Director of
Alexandra, Marine and General Hospital
and the strong steering committee head-
ed by Kate Moriarity.
