Dinner auction raises $15,000 for foundation A total of $15,000 was raised at the Maitland Conservation Foundation fundraising dinner and auction held at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre on April 19. Nearly 270 people attended. The money raised will be used to further improvements being made to the Wawanosh Nature Centre, a con­ servation education facility located in East Wawanosh Township. "We were thrilled by the support we received for this year's event", said Vince Judge, Conservation Foundation Chairman. "The Founda­ tion would like to thank the members of the community who made dona­ tions to guarantee the dinner's suc­ cess." The Maitland Conservation Foun­ dation is a charitable, non-profit organization that raises funds for pro­ jects being undertaken by the Mait­ land Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). The Wawanosh Nature Centre is an indoor education facility operated by the MVCA. A total of over 5,000 stu­ dents visit the centre annually from schools in Huron, Perth, Wellington and Bruce Counties. The Centre gives students the opportunity to learn about the natural environment and the need to manage soil and water resources. It is located on 400 acres of land along the Maitland River on concession 6-7 of East Wawanosh Township. This is the third fundraising dinner held by the Maitland Conservation Foundation. Photo error In a cutline accmpanying the photograph in last week's Citizen of Roy Cousins receiving his 60- year Jewell from the Masonic Lodge, the name of Lawrie Cousins was incorrectly given. The Citizen regrets te error. Auburn correction It was incorrectly reported in last week's Citizen that Tom Lawlor was in hospital. It was actually Tom Lawrence who was in hospital. The Citizen regrets the error. HEALTH ON THE HILL A Review of activities at SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Smoking Policy: Seaforth Community Hospital as a Health Care Facility recognizes the negative effects smoking has on health. As a result, the Hospital was declared a smoke free environment by the Board of Governors, effective May 12 last year. We continue to encourage our patients to "kick the habit" and are providing information of agencies who are involved in smoking cessation programs. We would like to remind all visitors to our hospital that they are not permitted to smoke in the Hospital. Student Nurses: The Hospital Nursing Station has been filled to capacity with the arrival of eight student nurses from the three year Nursing Program of Conestoga College, Stratford. Each student has been assigned specific patients and is involved in their total care over a six week period. We will miss all the extra hands and the cherry smiles when their work terms are over. Activation News: Mary Margaret Nash. Activation Co-ordinator was very pleased with the response of the patients to the last activity program. Everyone enthusiastically set about making soap. Not only was it very therapeutic, but the patients were actually able to make it back to their rooms and have the satisfaction of using it. The Huron Strings once again entertained and filled the halls with music. St. James Grade 6/7 class will be coming in the near future to sing for the patients. We wish the best to Darlene Hetherington in her new endeavors after 14 years of service in Emergency. HENSALL LIVESTOCK SALES LTD.
