(Paul Rudan Photo) Heart, stroke foundation exceeds fundraising goal 9 By Paul Rudan Despite this year's conservative approach to fund-raising, the Huron County Chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario managed to exceed the 1988 cam- paign by about $3,500, "We should remember the lesson that we learned this year in the set- ting of goals, We set conservative goals in the eyes of the regional office and were urged at one point to increase our goals quite substan- tially. We did not — and it turned out that we were still within the proper range after all the dust had settled,” wrote Campaign Chair- man Chuck Rowland in his annual report. man; Nico Peters, campaign chairman and provincial fund-raising repre- sentative; Sheryl Feagan and Beth Wilck, education; Walter McClure, special events; Maarten Bokhout, medical advisor; Stan Connelly, Belinda Mills and Yvonne Reynolds, directors and Bruce Shaw and Pat Whalen, honorary directors. liyaleians are ttheamouutof ospi deParthentleadsajd: ra014#04- t0,0P0Ad attending Inge. • ". covernment ieg1atiofls and leg.

Hanlon spoke up about the problem during a discussion about the newlrfortnecl fiscal advisory committee. Hospital Administrator Norm Hayes had suggested adding two more staff representatives to the committee, which already includes administration and a staff nursing rep. The additions are rec- ommended, Mr. Hayes said, so that all departments in the' hospital would be represented on this new cbnintittee. • „, • Sringentini# iinitrOthas paid: offagtigktili0 yeai, as Wingham and District Hospital looks at another finanothifitatement with revenues exceedhWexpenses.

"We understand that goal setting is very important, but in order to get the most commitment out of groups, setting objectives should be determined locally." As of June 30, the foundation's revenue from the campaign, bequests, Jump Rope for Heart and special events totalled $165,346. This is about a $2,000 increase over the 1988 total. The chapter's aPpreiiation dinner for its voltm- teereati7MITIParfiratiiig-Warred— at Huronview on Oct. 18. The evening's focus was the honoring of many volunteers, as well as a talk by a nutritionist on how good eating habits help the heart. "I'd like to thank the volunteers who go out in snowbanks (on door to door campaigns). Without you, we couldn't do it," said Cord Bax- ter of Wingharn, this year's Huron County chapter president. In his report, Past President Bar- ney Goldsmith chose a quote from Doug Shepherd, president of the Ontario foundation: "As economic times become more critical and modern life more complex, volun- teers step in to fill the breach. Vol- unteers work directly for and with other citizens..." "For this reason, volunteerism is at the very heart of what citizenship means to Canadians. The collective efforts of millions of volunteers have an enormous impact. Indeed, the strength of the volunteer spirit in Canada is a truly remarkable achievement." In his own words, Mr. Goldsmith concluded, "As volunteers go, in my opinion, Huron is at, or near, the top of the heap." Some of the successes this year were the Tin Man symbol and the Jtutip Rope for Heart program. 'The Tin Man is fast becoming the mascot for the heart and stroke campaign," Mr. Rowland noted in his report. He urged that the outfit be made available to the people involved in next year's fund-raising drive. The Jump Rope for Heart pro- gram is becoming increasingly pop- ular and has seen an ,1:100 increase over last year's.drive. This year, 12 county schools raised just over $29,000 and once again, the F. E. Madill Secondary School at Wing - ham was the leader. Students here julnped rope to raise $9,00a In recognition of their achievement, Mr. Rowland present- ed a trophy to Brad Crawford, Madill students' council president and Sean Rathburn, vice president. The speaker for the evening was nutritionist Btfth Wilke. She spoke on foods and their different fat types. Cutting doittii on fat is a good way to reduce calories, she stressed. The meeting ended with presen- tation of attranis of appredation to Colin Campbell, of,Winghant, Mn Coldstnith, Jean Hildebrand, Ity and Joyee Lee and 'Lois Arttifittoitg.
