Seated to Lions Club rates high in good deeds When it comes to doing a lot of good deeds in a community, the Lions Club have to get a very high rating. The Goderich Club was founded in 1922, therefore marking 65 years of operation this year. Mel Bogie holds the presidency this year and the club boasts a membership of 93. For a Lions Club to get started, it has to be sponsored by another Lions Club, already in operation. Lions run by districts; A9 consists of 49 Clubs, from Goderich - South; Lion's Head - North; Mono Mills, East. The Lions Clubs are active in 158 countries. The Goderich Club meet the second and fourth week of each month. The Lions International Conventions are attended and enjoyed by many members. In the last few years it has taken place in Dallas, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana; and in 1987 it was held in Taipei, Taiwan. In 1988 the. convention will be held in Denver, Colorado. There is always a big parade at the Inter- national° .Convention that lasts between PEOPLE IN OUR TOWN Betty Helesic, 524-9265 three and four hours. Each club marches in its country's colors. Canada's colors, are naturally, white with the red flags. Some of the groups that have benefitted from the Lions this year are: Goderich Pee Wee Hockey, Christmas '87 building, Par- ticipation Lodge, Canine Vision, Canada Telecare Program, Payment on Lions Har- bour Park Fence, Walk-a-Dog-athon, Huron Day Care, Seniors' Bus service twice a week, Goderich Districct Collegiate Gr. 13 scholarship, Little Theatre tickets for Senior Citizens, Student Loans, Figure Skating and Survival Through Friendship House.

Marian Doucette, puppeteer, was on hand to entertain' the children. ••• Friday, Dec. 11, The Huron Pioneer Museum Volunteer Friends had their Christmas dinner at Bailey's Restaurant.

A visit from Santa was enjoyed to end the evening. ••• The Goderich Block Parents Association has been operating for several years. At the moment however, they are experiencing some difficulties in getting people to take the executive jobs. This is not a full time position by any means. It does involve being able to attend the meetings and taking the minutes, etc. While we are still very fortunate living in Goderich, in knowing our children are reasonably safe, it is still better to be prepared, and have the children know there are places for them to go if the need ever arises. There.: are about 80 Block Parents in Goderich at present, and most parents are pleased to know this organization is active in town. A Block Parent is not only for children who are worried, about being picked up, they are there for anyone who becomes frightened or lost, and also for the elderly who might become disoriented and lost while out walking. To become a Block Parent, one has Will out an application, which is run through the computer by the police to be sure the person applying is a responsible citizen. When the application is approved, the representative in that area will deliver your Block Parent sign. Elizabeth MacPherson says one of the main things to remember if you become a Block Parent, is to remove the sign from your window when you are away. If you can give an hour or so of your time, why not volunteer to help out; to attend the meetings, and give this worthwhile organization your support. Knox Presbyterian Church Choir tapes are now in. If you wish to place an order please call Betty Coulter 524-7877 or Jean Knight 524-8672. My family would like to extend belated best wishes, health and happiness to a very special couple; my parents, Phyllis and Emerson Rodger of RR 2 Auburn, who celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary last week, Dec. 15. ••• To my readers, I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and health and happiness in the coming year. AIDS speakers now available Community or school groups across un- tario who want to learn more about AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) can now contact the Ontario Public Educa- tion Panel on AIDS (OPEPA) for a volunteer speaker to address them, Dr. J. A. Browne, OPEPA chairman, has announced. The telephone number to call from outside Toronto is 1-800-387-5586 (toll free). The Speakers' Referral Service provides resource information and audio-visual materials on AIDS, in addition to speakers. It requests that groups identify the type of audience which will be addressed, and aspects of AIDS which would be of the most interest. Date and place of presentation should be given, along with any other information which would help the service refer the most appropriate speaker. Health Minister Murray Elston announc- ed last September the ministry would pro- vide up to $300,000 to establish OPEPA, with the aim of supporting and counselling peo- ple with AIbS. Of the total amount, $200,000 was set aside for the panel to promote infor- mation and education for public and high- risk groups.
