Leadership skills offered at conference By Joanne Buchanan Are you a member of a non-profit group. who would like to learn more about fund- raising, leadership and organizational skills? If so, you may be interested in the 1985 Volunteer Executive Conference entitled "The Important Business of Running Your Non -Profit Organization". This conference is being hosted by the Lake Huron Zone Recreationists' Associa- tion at ,the Walkerton ,District Secondary School on Saturday, September 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A fee of $20 includes lunch. The conference'is open to all volunteer ex- ecutive members of non-profit organiza- tions — ranging from sports and arts groups • to service clubs and fraternities — in Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth and North Wellington Counties. The conference was originally conceived by Goderich Recreation Director Jane Net- zke in response to requests from volunteer executive members in that town. "They ( the executive members) wanted ' more training in running their groups so we organized some small workshops for them," says Netzke. Following these local workshops, ,Netzke approached the Lake Huron Zone Associa- tion with the idea that executive members in other communities might be interested in such training as well. The 40 -member Association, which consists of recreation • personnel in the Lake Huron area, gave Net- ' zke the go-ahead to plan a day -long centrally -located conference. With the aid of a Ministry of Tourism 'and Recreation grant and the assistance of Walkerton Recreation Director Dick Car- michael and Hanover Recreation Director Mike Dunlop, Netzke began organizing the conference back in January. She started by having each recreation director in the Lake, Huron Zone send out a survey to all the non:- profit on-profit organizations in their respective areas. The topics to be covered at the con- ference are based on the responses received from this survey. These . topics include the following: "Leading and Managing the Organization" by Jill MacMillan, Consulting Company, Toronto;"Fund-raising" by Nancy Biggar, Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, Lon. don; "Finding and Keeping,Volunteers", by Kathy Wiele, Lifetime Consulting Inc., Coll- ingwood; "Communication Skills" by Sylvia Balfour, You Can Workshops Inc.,. Cambridge; "Liability and the Volunteer Executive" by Brian Linley,, Reichenbach. and Linley, Walkerton; "Motivation" by Neville Clark, Director of Industrial Rela- tions, Mississauga Hydro; "Budget Preparation and' Fiscal Management" by Bob ' Wilkinson, accountant, Hanover: "Planning Effective Meetings" by Melanie McLaughlin, Ministry •of Tourism and Recreation, Hanover; and "Time Manage- ment", again by Sylvia Balfour. The keynote address, entitled "The Challenge to the Volunteer Executive", will be given by Bud Bitton of the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, Hanover. Netzke is hoping for about 100 participants at the conference and has extended the deadline for ' application to Friday, September 20. She; feels the conference will give volunteer executive members a unique opportunity to hear, professionals from all over Ontario address their needs. "Wehope to provide information and resources to community volunteers to im- prove their effectiveness. in their organiza- tions." she concludes. For further information about the con-; ference or for a registration form, contact the recreation director in your community or Jane Netzke, in care of the Goderich Recreation Department, 166 McDonald Street, N7A 3N5; ( 519) 524-2125. MORRIS TWP. - Council has given ap- proval t principle to a proposal which would see the township pay $4,090 to the Brussels, Morris and Grey Conum ntity Cen- tre entre next year, its calculated share of the operating costs at the centre. The draft agreement includes all recrea- tion in the village, including the new swim- ming pool whidh is to be completed next year. Morris had asked for a user -fee breakdown to deterinine .. its contribution. Since the township only has 28 residents enrolled in recreation programs in the village, it was determined Morris should pay $4,000, compared to Brussels and Grey which will pay $7,000 for 61 and 63 registrants respectively. In addition Morris will grant $887 to the community centre this year. In other business, council will tender for a firm to supply and equip the new township shed with propane for two years. Tenders closed Sept. 16. The official opening of the shed is schedul- ed for Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. Ken Shortreed of RR 3, Walton, is the new Morris Township tile drain inspector.

The case appeared before the county land division committee the same day as council met and approved the severance which was to sever a surplus residence. A proposed manure storage tank for Bod- min Farms was given council's blessing, but its construction and operation must comply with the 'Morris Township Manure Bylaw, particularly' the section which states the neve facility can be placed at the same distance from the road allowance as the ex- isting structure. Morris has accepted a proposal from Grey Township allowing wastes from the Walton feed mill to be dumped° at the Morris waste disposal site with all costs being incurred by Grey. The matter is up for review at the end of the year. A petition for repairs to the Blyth Creek has been accepted. Dawson and Johnston, a Stratford engineering firm, will be the engineers.
