In the Global Village concept they may live in the next town, another province or even in another country. That's why we open our feelin?s towards the worthwhile appeals in the community. Because these appeals are of such national interest there may be a danger that we might forget to support the home team. We call ourselves the Association for the Mentally Han- dicapped.
