The campaign period runs this year from March 16 until Easter Sunday, April 19 by which time the club hopes to have raised $1,600 as its -share of -the overall provin- cial objective of $3,000,000. For the past month, club members and their friends have been busily engaged in stuffing 2 and addressing envelopes in preparation for this very special event. The message that accom- panies these seals urges peo- ple to back a fighter with their donation. Last year, response to the club's efforts brought in $1,349 to help parents of physically handicapped children with- the cost of wheelchairs, braces, ar- tificial limbs, summer cam- ping, transportation and special rehabilitation treat- ment programs. "As a member of the On- tario Society. for Crippled Children, our club has been serving handicapped youngsters in the Clinton and Brucefield area for the past 31 years," said campaign chairman Tony Van Zon. "We believe in the potential of these youngsters and in their ,.fight for_.. a . b_etter..,,,,. chance in life. That's why we're : asking people to back these youngsters with their Easter Seal donations". Anyone who fails to receive their.gaster Seal ap- peal can still help by sending their tax deductible donation to Easter Seal Fund, Clinton Lions Club, Box 580, Clinton.
