The meeting got underway 10 p.m., with the trustees ignor- ing their Sept. 28 resolution to start regular meetings at 9 p.m. An in camera meeting of the board in committee -of -the whole also preceded the regular meet- ing. Miss Litwiller, who was ac- companied to the -.meeting by Ronald Ferguson of the com- munity school executive, outlined her work during her first year. Fresh out of collegewhen she began her duties last winter, she said she started to work with the children in St. Patrick's school and through them she started to know the parents. She said 28 high school students who took her leadership training program completedthe course in program planning and administration, crafts, quiet games and active games, safety and discipline, drama and story telling, music and special events. The program is being held again this winter. She held a summer program attended by 30 to 35 children with a $2,200 government grant that enabled her to hire three girlsfor six weeks. She held programs for three days during the spring break for childrennod hopes to repeat them during the Christ- mas holiday break. She said she is hoping to get craft programs going such as quilting, crochet - mg. She has sports programs in the school during the noon hour and a sports night for high school students once a week and is start- ing the same for adults. Miss Litwiller said she has had no success in getting the senior citf Lei1b uut for programs. "They are wishy-washy just now, but I think possibly this winter they will come to the school to play cards one evening." She said during the profes- sional development day on Nov. 4• she had 51 children attending a full day activity period in the school, assisted by four Grade 8 students; games, craft, singing and movies were featured. She said she its now a voting member of the Dublin Recreation Association and works with the Leo club members, assisted by the Dublin Lions club. She has applied for another $10,000 grant this year from the ministry of education to continue her work for 1978. She said the community school concept had a slow start in Dublin until people understood it and her role. It is now "my job to get people to take more responsibility for the programs and to carry them on when I leave," she said. The government will give the grant for two years only and she hopes to know by the middle of Decem- ber whether they will get it for a Your gift to CARE helps needy people improve their lives by their own efforts ft is their labour which builds a durable house, a school, a nutrition centre. a Safer water system. a farm -to -market road You make it possible for CARE to supply whatever else is required: technical advice, cement, roofing. piping, pumps, picks, shovels and wheelbarrows • Your gift means safer water for rural families.
