Volunteers are urgently needec .to h6'1 -take. orders and deliver televisions to..patients in the hospital. If you can help one or two after- noons a month, please contact Marg at 482-3508. A discussion took place regarding the in- volvement and responsibility of an Aux- iliary volunteer'•during a fire alarm or other ,emergency in, the hospital. It was generally felt that many of the volunteers from the community whp_.belp with services in the hospital, are not knowledgeable of the hospital procedures and building layout. The policy accepted, therefore, was that of volunteers being- treated as visitors during an emergency. Any volunteer with previous. training in emergency procedures could however, offer his assistance to the staff. The annual meeting of the Auxiliary to Clinton Public Hospital will be held on April 6 as the year end has been changed to the end of March to coincide with that of the hospital. Next regular meeting will be February 2 at 10 a.m. in the board room. Any person in- terested in service work to the hospital is in- vited to attend. County Services Council to discuss role In March of 1978, following a workshop for social service agencies, anorganizational meeting of what would become the Huron County Special Needs Committee was held. This committee was to serve as a co- ordinating body with specific issues to be dealt with by ad-hoc sub -committees made up of interested agencies. At the October 1978 Special Needs Com- mittee, the group discussed becoming more formalized with wider roles and activities and a sub -committee was formed. That sub- committee suggested two alternatives to meet a list of aims and objectives as iden- tified by the Special Needs Comrriittee. The first alternative, the agency model .vould be based on co-operation and co-ordination of agencies in the county and might resem- ble an expanded Special Needs Committee. The community model would be broader to include volunteer, political and long term planning personnel. The Huron County Community Services Council came into being at the March 29, 1979 meeting of the Special Needs Commit- tee under its present structure and has func- • Canon COPIERS • °OLYMPIA,SMITH CORONA TYPEWRITER • OFFICE FURNITURE sjbeelal V4Qe44•If4 - "Ort (?uata+,i` 69 ird ALL SALES - cash, cheque, mastercard or Visa ALL SALES FINAL ALL FLOOR MODELS PRICED FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY HURON BUSINESS MACHINES 50 Albert CLINTON 482-7338 tioned as such since that time. Following the report on the Youth Needs Assessment Project, the Huron County Community Services Council was challeng- ed to consider becoming more active and forceful and the subsequent issue as to conti- nuing in an informal supportive role or to in- corporate will be discussed at the January 15 meeting -of the Huron County Community Services Council held at 10 a.m. at the OMAF office in Clinton.
