Mr. Keillor, who was speaking at the centre's second annual meeting, told guests the centre staff conducted 1,000 interviews with families in the period from August, 1977 to July, 1978. He said the staff has spent 700 hours working with parents as a couple and over 700 hours working with families as a whole, The director said families are solving their own problems through the process of working with counsellors at the Huron Centre for Children and Youth. Mr. Keillor said in the past year, there has been "a gradual emergence of a clear therapeutic ap- proach to the work we're doing." The director pointed out that in the past, some social scientists had put the emphasis on replacing the family in society, whereas the Huron Centre for Children and Youth sees its role as working to support families. The director said clients are corning to the centre now from all over the county, including Exeter, Goderich, Wingham and Seaforth, as well as Clinton. When the centre was Dist established in linton, there was some concern that other county residents wouldn't have access to the service. Mr. Keillor said the centre's staff have succeeded in creating access to the centre from anywhere in Huron County. If families can't come to the centre, then staff members will travel to them on an outreach basis. Also, the centre is open on Monday and Thursday nights to ensure "we are available to families when they can best come to us," Mr. Keillor said. The director said the centre has never really had a waiting list. He added staff can usually guarantee that callers will have their first ap- pointment with a coun- sellor within one week of calling the centre. Chairman's report Gordon Phillips of the board of directors read the chairman's report, prepared by Howard James, who was unable to attend the annual meeting. In his report, Mr. Jaynes said, "the ac- tivities of the board of directors this year have been a good deal more tranquil and for the most part less dramatic than those that occurred during our first year as a duly elected board." The report added, "While statistical reports have shown a steady increase in the use of the centre by the public throughout the county, the financial statement will show we are still operating well within the allocated budget." In pinpointing highlights of the past year from the board's minutes, Mr. James selected the establish- ment of a new salary scale and adoption of a sa'.ary grill for centre employees, the adoption of a program of personnel practices and the hiring of two new staff members - Dr, Tony Miller, a registered psychologist and Mrs. Marilyn McMahon, who provides additional secretarial help. The final highlights mentioned in the chairman's report were the creation of a new brochure to publicize the purpose and activities of the Huron Centre and the Experience '78 program sponsored by the centre this summer. The Experience '78 project was created for athe 'purpose of establishing Big Brothers Associations in each of the major centres of Huron County. Mr. James reported, "Each of the five towns (Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and Exeter) now has either an Association or has established a planning committee that will lead eventually to the establishment of an association." Board Members In the meeting following the two reports, Dr. Bruce Thomson, of the board's nomination committee, reported that Mrs. Ila Kayes of RR 3 Parkhill, was stepping down as a member of the board. Dr. Thomson said Mrs. Kayes has served on the board since the centre was just a concept and he thanked her for her work. Dr. Thomson said the remaining nine members of the 11 -member board were allowing their names to stand for re- election. The tenth member of the board is an annual appointment by the members of Huron County council. In the past year, Warden Gerry Ginn served as council's appointee on the Huron Centre board. When no new names were nominated for the board, the nine board members were returned by acclamation. Pr. Thomson said the nominating committee hopes they can find another member for the board who might represent either the Big Brothers organization or the developmentally handicapped. The nine members of the board who will be serving for another year are: Howard James of Egmondville, Carol Egener of Goderich, Joanne Jasper of Goderich, John Kopas of Wingham, Arthur Mountford of Goderich, Gordon Phillips of Clinton, Dr. Bruce Thomson of Goderich, John Penn of Goderich and Beverley Read of RR 3, Exeter.
