• The guest speaker was Mrs. Fol Jane.
W elton'of the Victoria Hospital Auxiliary. in
London; who. has recently completed a two
year term as public relations director for
HAAO-and as editor of its Magazine. Volun-
teer, and who is currently chairman of its .
75th anniversary committee. Her bark
ground is in journalism. 'She has just com-
piled a history of HAAO which will be in-
cluded in the next issue of 'Volunteer; and
her opening remarks included the fad. that
Wingham's 'Auxiliary was one of the very
early ones (1906) and was involved in the
formation of the provincial HAA in 1910.
The association now has a meMbership of
55,000 including men, • women and teen
volunteers. .
Mrs. Welton called her address, "Life is
Once Around the Block". With special
reference to volunteers, she compared life
to a, journey around a block during which
we must be ready to adjust to new
conditions by changing direction as we go
around a corner. In the early years of the
century hospital needs , included horse
drawn vehicles and, . as had been said
earlier in the day, volunteers canned • and
preserved food in the hospital kitchens. As
they journey around -the block, volunteers
,must be ready to look the present situation •
in the face, accept challenges and new
opportunities to serve, and be ready to turn
the next corner when the situation again
calls for it. She encouraged those who are
tackling new tasks in the association this
fall. The world needs volunteers, she said,
and they do make a difference in countless'
situations. None should ever describe
herself as "just a volunteer" for volunteers
are extremely important to many of the
patients. We all need help, and we need to
help others.., to matter to someone outside
ourselves... and by being kind, compas-
sionate and caring we can add meaning
and purpose to our lives through our work.
• Mrs. Welt dosed by stressing the point
that, as in other work fields, effective
communication is essential in volunteer
work: 1
• The chairman announced that the Spring
Conference will be held on April 28 in St.
Marys, and an invitation from Goderich to
hold the 1986 Fall Conference there, was
accepted. She gave as a closing thought,
"Give what^ you have. To someone it may
be better than you .dare to think."
The . Conference Committee of the local
ancillary' made up of Noreen Gnay,'a
convener,. Jo English, luncheon convener,
Lorna Stuart and Carol Hamilton. They
were assisted by many auxiliary members.
Mrs. Marilyn Wood, president, thanked,'
them all and the ladies of St: Andrews: All
are to be congratulated for having success-
fully provided the setting for the region's
conference program.
