HOLMESVILLE - The key teacher meeting for the Huron County Women Teachers' Association will be held on September 30 at the White Carnation, Holmesville, at 4:30 pm. Huron County Women Teachers' Associa- tion president Marie Parsons answers the question, "What is a key teacher?"

Without the 25 key teachers, the flow of information between the executive and its membership is much more difficult to manage." The September 30 key teacher informa- tion session is organized by the Huron Coun- ty Women Teachers' Association early in the fall to "outline new thrusts for the Cur- rent year. to familiarize the key teachers with the new executive and other key teachers, as well as to underline the impor- tance of the key teacher in the communica- tion network," says president Marie Parsons.

Playhouse GRAND BEND - Heather Redick, General Manager of the Huron Country Playhouse is moving on after eight years of service. Heather first joined the Huron Country. Playhouse staff in 1980 with the objective of increasing both subscription and individual ticket sales. Her marketing plan was the first of its kind at the Playhouse and in- dividual ticket sales increased by nearly 30 per cent over prior seasons, subscription sales also gained substantially. Heather was also responsible for establishing good work- ing relations with the media, other perform- ing arts groups and surrounding communities. As a result of her success in marketing, Heather was promoted to director of fund raising. Under her co-ordination, both private and corporate fund raising were in- creased, and new, more varied and more challenging events were added to the roster of fund raising events at Huron Country Playhouse. Heather also initiated the Huron Country Playhouse involvement in the Win- tario Arts Challenge Fund, a successful three year fund raising drive, as well as Playhouse participation in the Investment In The Arts Program in 1980. In early 1981, Heather was promoted to the position of general manager. Under her management Huron Country Playhouse has become one of the largest and most suc- cessful summer theatres — not only in On- tario but also in Canada. Heather initiated the development of Playhouse II, along with handicap facilities, renovated public washrooms, the new work shop, breezeway and the addition of a balcony to the main theatre. In 1934, Heather was the recipient of the Victor Polley Award for Arts Administra- tion/Arts Facilities Management. Heather hasn't made any final decisions about her future but in the few short days she's been away from the Playhouse, she says she has missed it already. Heather leaves the playhouse in a stable and secure financial position. David Bannister. Presi- dent of the Board of Directors fur Huron Country Playhouse says of Heather's move, "We'll certainly miss Heather's talent and expertise. She was a real asset to our Com- pany. The fact that the Playhouse is in good shape from both a financial and manage- ment point of view, is a great credit to her ability. We are also fortunate to have an ex- cellent administrative staff in place at the theatre to keep the Playhouse on a smooth course."
