But, for Anna Dalton doing errands has turned into a business. Dalton, of RR 2 Goderich, is creator and operator of Errands Made Easy, an errand service available to Goderich and Huron County residents. She began the service in January. -It'sa convenience service which pro- vides grocery shopping, ride •!te-appoirtt- rnents, house Sitting, gift shopping"'and gift wrapping, and picking up dry cleaning. Ac- tually, any sort of thing like ,that," Dalton. explained. She noted that in rnany larger cities, ser- vices such as hers are commonplace. And, although Goderich is a small town, she felt that there was a need for an errand service for people throughout Huron County. "The service is for those people who don't like to go out during• bad weather, for those people who. can't get out or haven't got transportation, and for, people who are just to busy," she said. •The idea of an errand service. came to mind when she noted that the senior popula- tion in Goderich was relatively high and that many alder people find it difficult to get out, especially during the wiriter. She also felt that offering such a service would attract dual -income families.. q' Aside from realizing the potential os such a business, Dalton said the service enables her to meet interesting people. "I get to do a lot of fun things and meet in- teresting people. I enjoy -that more. than ,anything because I like, working with other people." Having your grocery shopping done or getting a ride to a doctor's appointment is just a'phone call away. ••All anyone has -to do is call and leave a message on the answering service al'though I'rn usually home between 5-7 p.m." Dalton said. • For. such things as grocery shopping, the customer gives Dalton the last of groceries needed over the •phone., So ethin dew...
