cancer society during the month of April
EXETER - At the regular month-
ly meeting of the Exeter Branch
• Canadian Cancer Society. it was
decided, to not canyass Exeter
• Business this'year.
Although husinesses have been
very generous in .the past, it was-
• felt Thai in a town such as Exeter.
many local owners are canvassed
both at work and at home: .
• • Many employers and employees
of merchants such as Canadian
Tire. Darlings .Foodland and The
Cutting Corner have initiated indi-
vidual fundraising activities very
successfully. •
Perhaps -foregoing the April can-
vasses may cause a reduction in the
total receipts._ although husinesses
may partake in other activities.
Envelopes will he given to the
• Exeter B.I.A. for those husinesses
who wish to continue to donate
without bothering them during.
business hours.
Thc residential canvass will he
done -in the South Huron Arca
(Exeter -Branch) during the month
of April. -
Approximately. 150 volunteers in
' the arca canvass their neighbors for
donations. While service clubs such
as the Zurich Lions and Hensall
Kinsmen have taken on the project
for several years, volunteers- such
as Lynn Farquhar 'have initiated a
door to door canvass for Huron
Park.
This year's team composition
consists of Area Pundraising con-
venor -Maureen Cole. team cap-

-up to 16 canvassers.who go door to.
door. as direct contact with every
home in the community.
Close to $40 million is raised
'annually in Canada. half of which
is raised through the annual can-
vass-. Last year, the Exeter region
raised over $18.0(X). Funds collect-
ed support the most promising can-
cer research projects, prevention
and early detection, programs and
services for cancer patients. their
families and caregivers. This year.

household. with prevention infor-
mation and phone numbers for the
Canadian Information Service.

will be affected by cancer.

teer canvassers. funding is collect-
ed to bring us one. step closer to
beating cancer. •
The Exeter Branch is very grate-
ful for the dedicated support of can-
vassers who.devote their time and
effort to such a worthwhile cause.
