"Friendship is the Key, emphasiz-
ing the SHDAMH goal - that all
persons live in a state of dignity,
share in all elements of living in
the community and have the oppor-
tunity to participate effectively.
The 1988 brochure includes the
principles for services, from active
promotion of parental and child
health to encouraging independence,
fostering growth and providing sup-
port.
Over 400 volunteers will be in-
volved in this year's campaign, al-
though the territory to be canvassed
is somewhat small. Thedford now
belongs to the Wyoming Associa-
tion and percentage of the collection
from the Clinton -Bayfield area has
been earmarked for the Goderich As-
sociation.
The Seaforth arca will be can-
vassed this year by the Junior Farm-
ers.
Last year Flowers of Hope raised
819,515 for the handicapped in our
community, providing special
equipment and support, as well as a
program of community awareness
and prevention activities. This year
let's make it S20,000 to be counted
