THE HURON EXPOSITOR, • SEPTEMBER 14, 1988 — 17A Lioness clubs doncite^ to Cancer: CupbO .rd CLINTON - In the spring of 1988, the five Lioness Clubs in the County of Huron, namely Exeter, Bayfield, Seaforth, Vanastra and Goderich, agreed to pur- chase equipment for the loan cupboard operated by the Huron Unit of the Cana- • dian Cancer Society. The loan cupboard is a storeroom for equipment and supplies to be used by cancer patients within the coun- ty in their homes. The equipment•and sup- plies provided to cancer patients in order to let them remain in their homes, as op- posed to being hospitalized, has provided a tremendous boost to the spirits of the pa- tients and welcome .assistance to the pa- tients' families. The five Lioness Clubs raised in excess of $1,080 and purchased one trapeze and -stand, three back rests and nine sheep- skins for the Cancer Society. The Cancer Society also provides transportation, ostomy supplies, assistive devices, homemaking and drugs to cancer patients in need of assistance. . The Lioness Clubs within 'the County of ° Huron provide a great deal in the way of time, energy and donations toward various community projects and In the way of good fellowship amongst its members. No doubt you are aware of various projects spon- sored by the Lioness Club in your com- munity and knowing that the profit goes back into such things as the equipment mentioned in this article, should be an in- centive for all of us to participate in any future endeavour sponsored by the Lioness Clubs. The services provided by the Huron County Day Care are something to be pro- ud of. To have such a service available in a mainly rural County with its back roads, winter driving and the distance which the Homemakers have to travel, is a benefit that we should be thankful for. HPRCSSB • from page 1 in those areas. "We have given long and serious attention to these two areas (math and reading) and I anticipate an A or perhaps an A -plus," Mr. Eckert predicted. He added that if the board didn't do well that would be alright too for it would provide direction on what needed to be improved. BETTER EQUIPPED - Lioness Clubs from around the area teamed up to donate some equipment - including one trapeze, three back rests and nine sheepskins - to the Huron County Cancer Society. The equipment can be loaned out to any cancer patient in the county through the Home Care system. Shown holding onto the trapeze are Lioness members, Viola Taylor of Seaforth, Kathleen Siertsema of Bayfield and Mary Lou,Aubin of Goderich, and Huron County Home Care Coordinator Karen Fry. Seated on the sheepskin and using a back rest is Liz Bell of Exeter. Absent from the photo is a representative of the Vanastra Lioness Club.
