TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — Kelly Maidens, president
of the South Huron Chamber of
Commerce, will call the McDonald's of
Exeter rooftop his home again this year
to help the Easter Seals Kids.
Maidens will be on the roof for 36
hours or until donations reach $4,000
with all the money going to support chil-
dren living with physical disabilities in
Huron County.
He will be on the roof starting at noon
Nov. 5.
For every $50 donation a flag will be
made in your honour, which will be
placed on the ladder marking the
progress towards the goal.
A $500 donation will purchase an
entire step getting Maidens even closer
to the ground and Easter Seals closer to
their goal.
The $500 donation will also allow the
company or individual to advertise in
that space between the stairs.
For more information, contact Jennie
Christian, district manager of the Easter
Seal Society, Ontario at 432-9669 ext
225.
Donations can be made at McDonald's
in Exeter or by calling Maidens while he
is on the roof at 878-8378.
By Scott Nixon The store will also feature extended
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF hours and will eventually hire more part-
time workers.
