NOG 2WOL • Phone 367-2320 4 %Or Rq..e The four speakers who presented a brief session were: Karen Ross, the coordinator from the Central Volunteer Bureau in Lon- don; Allison Hollingworth, a physiotherapist at the Goderich hospital; Cathy Thompson, nutritionist for Huron County; and Dave Hicks,, project coordinator for Participation Lodge at Holland Centre. Karen Ross, an expert on the subject of volunteers, spoke about the importance each volunteer plays in a work setting, and en- couraged each one to see themselves as such and to help recruit other potential volunteers wherever possible. The speaker's enthusiasm on the subject was greatly received. .Hollingworth, physiotherapist at Goderich, led a session on care of elderly people, stroke vic- tims, people in wheelchairs, and demonstrated an exercise program geared to stroke victims. She went through the exercises, demonstrating each one with a volunteer on the mat performing each exercise. ,-Many were interested in the-iroper use of a wheel- chair and specific exercises. Allison's presentation was worthwhile and a practical tool for volunteers. Our third speaker, Cathy Thompson from the health unit, spoke on nutrition and the senior adult. She en- couraged each volunteer to reinforce positive eating habits to the seniors at every opportunity.She suggested that the best time to do this is when the volunteer is alone with the senior. Because of the good eating, health; and food -fitness craze during the past few years, the nutrition session was also a favored topic. Our last speaker for the afternoon was Dave Hicks from Participation Lodge. He discusSed a ttitutes toward special groups. Mr. Hicks related his personal, experiences with the disabled and adapted them to suggest to the volunteers how they could see the elder ly or disabled person on a &69xrd Day Centre News By Rita Rice Two speakers visited the Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound last week. On Tuesday after- noon, Captain Wilson Perrin from the Wingham Corps of the Salvation Army came to speak about the role of the Army in the community. Captain Perrin is new to Wingham arid had many stories and experiences to relate from his native New- foundland. Many of the seniors asked questions relating to Captain Perrin's work in Wingham. It was a pleasure to havesomeone with his background and present work duties in the centre for the afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon Bert Hogenbirk, assistant manager of the new Bank of Montreal, Wingham, came in to speak on senior banking and financing. Mr. Hogen- birk explained the bank's senior plan and what privileges a senior citizen receives at the bank. Mr. Hogenbirk advised (each senior to go to his own and make sure he is on a senior plan to reap its full benefits. New and different accounts, multi -branch banking, guaranteed invest- ment certificates and bonds were some of the topics covered. Each senior very much enjoyed ' the in- formative session. Last Thursday, Edith McKerizie, one of our Thurs- day participants, brought in . some surprise Hallowe'en prizes for six bingo games we had in the afternoon. Emma Johnston was the lucky winner of three games. Everyone enjoyed remem- bering the October signifi- cance of Hallowe'en. We have been working on our Christmas crafts, and during the next few weeks will begin December's hospital tray favors for the hospital. On Wednesday, Nov. 5, we are having a foot clinic. The technicians from the health unit are coming to attend to foot care. The volunteer information workship was quite success- ful last Friday afternoon. Thankarnoes out to all our faithful ,and pleasant volunteers who attended. Volunteer training such as this is important for people working in our setting. Once again, :thanks for your support.
