Anyone wishing a ticket should con- tact a member or visit Bob's Barber Shop. Only 350 tickets are sold and the early bird draw is March 19, and the first trip is drawn in April. , The last dinner meeting saw plenty of guests as the new Optimist Queen Leanne Whitmore and her princess Tracy Salverda were present. They honored the club with the speeches that were part of their re- quirements in being selected. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Ross Ribey who were guests in honor of the work and effort they put into organizing and runn- ing the Lions Santa Claus parade. Along with the Ribeys were the winners of The BIA, Optimist Christmas Decoration Contest. They were presented with prizes for their efforts in making Seaforth a better community. First place winners were Mr. and Mrs. T. Kale, second place Mr. and Mrs. Cusack and third place Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hulley. Congratulations again to all the winners and good luck for next year.

Members are reminded that the meeting for March 16 has been cancelled and a special meeting for St. Patrick's. Day, March 17, is planned. Develoment grant aw.rded t• :on -profit housi{ ,g gro Belgrave Non -Profit Housing Corporation has been awarded a $1,000 development grant from the Province of Ontario. Jack Riddell, Minister of Agriculture and Food and MPP for Huron, said the grant will be used to help offset the costs:of incor- porating a non-profit housing organization and preparing an initial submission to the government under a federal -provincial non- profit housing program. Grants are available to groups developing government -assisted non-profit housing for the first time. "I am very pleased that Belgrave Non - Profit' Housing Corporation plans to take part in the non-profit housing program, and I'm hopeful that the proposed project will greatly benefit senior citizens in the Township of East Wawanosh," Mr. Riddell said. • The Government of Canada and the Pro- vince of Ontario will cost -share assistance directed to needy households through the non-profit housing program. Market rental units will be.fully funded by the Province of Ontario. The program, administered by the On- tario Ministry of Housing, permits municipal non-profit, private non-profit and co-operative non-profit groups to build ren- tal housing for people with low -to -moderate incomes. The projects will contain rent -geared -to - income housing, in which tenants pay rent based solely on income rather than on type or size of accommodation. Some projects p may include a number of market rental units. The exact mix of income groups to be ac- commodated in projects will be determined by individual project sponsors and will be based on the particular needs of the local community. Those eligible for rent -geared -to -income housing include families, senior citizens, childless couples, single persons and physically, developmentally and psychiatrically -handicapped people capable of independent living. Funding is also available for non-profit and co-operative projects for low-income singles and for people requiring some form of support care or help with the normal func- tions of day-to-day living.
