Dear Editor:
The evening of March 19, 1986, a year
and a half ago, remains so unforgettable.
That was when my doctor came to ex-
amine me after cataract surgery and to
remove the bandage covering my eye.
My first response was to glance at my
roommates television set and see a clear
bright picture with vivid color. My surgery
was successful and my immediate reac-
tion was to thank God for the gift of
restored eyesight.
This year as we celebrate Thanksgiving
Day the majority of us in this great coun-
try of ours have different things to be
thankful for. However, let us not forget
that many others are less fortunate than
ourselves. I'm thinking of the millions of
blind people in the Developing World.
LETTERS
There is a small Canadian chairty, Opera-
tion Eyesight Universal that is helping
thousands of these people by restoring
them to sight.
Make this Thanksgiving a special day to
remember by making a $25 tax deductible
donation to Operation Eyesight Universal,
P.O. Box 123, Stn. "M", Calgary, Alberta,'
T2P 2H6. Your contribution will pay for
one patient's cataract surgery, drugs,
hospitalization, special glasses and follow-
up care.
Picture the smiles and joyful gratitude
Key teacher meeting to be held
in Holmesville on September 30
HOLMESVILLE - The key teacher
meeting for the Huron County Wttmen
Teachers' Association will be held on
September 30 at the White Carnation,
Hoimesville. at 4:30 pm.
Huron County Women Teachers' Associa-
tion president Marie Parsons answers the
question, "What is a key teacher?"
"A key teacher is a communication link
between the local FWTAO president, with
her 'executive, and the FWTAO members
within a local jurisdiction, such as Huron
County. .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
wan 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.
Pat Johnson, Executive Assistant,
Federation of Women Teachers' Association
of Ontario in Toronto, will conduct a
workshop on The Role of the Key Teacher
As A Communication Link. This workshop
will outline actual means by which to
transfer the information to the local
membership.
In addition, 17 women teachers, new to the
Huron County systeih, will be the guests of
the key teachers and their executive at this
workshop and dinner. This evening offers
-the new teachers the opportunity to be in-
troauced on a less formal basis before their
induction into the membership at the fall
banquet in October.
