Museurn friends to hold drive for block campaign at Suncoast Mali About eight and a half years ago Meals - On -Wheels was experiencing some dif- ficulties and almost folded when the late Harold Knisley decided to co-ordinate the project and asked his, good friend Claude Kalbfleisch to help him. After Harold's death in 1981, his wife Olive, took over as co - coordinator and secretary of the group. Her job is to write the lists of people to have meals delivered to each week and the list of drivers for that week. She addresses envelopes with the route, the date, name of the person to receive the meal, and their phone number. Usually about seven or eight names are on the envelopes. Olive takes these lists to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital every Sunday night. The drivers take these envelopes when they pick up the meals, which are prepared at the hospital and put in plastic insulated trays. They deliver them to the, .people and collect the Meal tickets which are returned in the envelopes. The drivers do not have to handle or collect any money. • The group now have 28 drivers. Three or more driver, drive two nightsYout of three. One driver that certainly deserves honourable mention is, Glen Rittinger. Glen has been a volunteer driver since the pro- gram began and drives every Tuesday night: The drivers find the people receiving the meals are usually very appreciative. Quite often they are the only visitors these people see that day. Claude says his main job is to sell tickets for the meals. This is done the first Monday of each month. As there is no time lirnit to his job, Claude is able to take time to visit with each of these people and they enjoy the time he spends with them. He also fills in sometimes for drivers that are unable to drive on a particular night. Alexandra Marine and General Hospital prepare 15 to 16 meals per day, which is about all they have time to do. These meals are prepared with care and are geared to the individuals needs. The meals consist of soup, potatoes, a vegetable, meat, bread and a light dessert, and are delivered bet- ween 4:30 and 5 p.m. each evening five days a week. Both Olive and Claude feel it is time they step down and let someone else fill this much needed service. Meals -On -Wheels I'm sure, would like to extend a big thank you to both these volunteer workers who have done such a good job over the years. Marion Shaw is the treasurer of this group PEOPLE IN OUR TOWN Betty Helesic, 524-9265 and as of January 1, 1988, Betty Tolsma will be the new coordinator.
