Community Living - South Huron
Flowers of Hope Campaign
Although our Flowers of Hope campaign has been con-
ducted during the month of May for many years, the public
may not be aware of some important facts about this par-
ticular campaign and about Community Living -South
Huron in general.
Early in the spring, chairperson Gordon Hill recruits
approximately 32 "Captains" from the surrounding area.
This area includes the towns/villages of Bayfield, Centralia,
Crediton, Dashwood, Egmondville, Exeter, Grand
Bend, Hensall, Huron Park, Seaforth and Zurich and
the Municipalities of Bluewater, South Huron and
Huron East.
These captains then gather in mid-April in
Dashwood at the Community Living -South Huron
complex there, for a great dinner prepared by our Food
Service team and more importantly for their annual pep -
talk in the art of being in the feel good business.
Gordon is quick to point out how honoured our captains
and approximately 250 canvassers are to be asked to take
part in this worthy cause. This campaign allows them to
become part of the Feel Good Club because that's how you
feel when the money raised goes to assist the clients with
developmental challenges to participate in and contribute
to all aspects of family and community life.
• CL -SH supports over 100 "clients" in South Huron, North
Middlesex and North Lambton;
• we maintain six group homes in the area, two work-
shops, a bakery and support for about 35 clients in the
community;
• 100 per cent of all money raised goes to the clients -no
money is ever used for salary or administrative costs. No
money received from Flowers of Hope went into the
cost of the new addition in Dashwood;
• No money is sent out of the area to `headquar-
ters';
• Money in the past has been spent on wheel -chairs,
lifts, dentures, medical supplies, orthopedic shoes,
etc.
Last year we exceeded Gordon's target of $33,500 and
raised $34,246.23. This year, we're raising that to
$35,000. So now it's May, and we say good luck and many
many thanks to our canvassers. We ask that when they
come knocking at your doors, you are as generous as you
have been in past years as you remember all those who
make up our community.
