There was a friendly atmosphere, fostered by the gathering of the TCH staff, volunteers and home- makers meeting on a social level rather than within the confines of their common involvement. Fol- lowing a delightful meal and enter- tainment, provided by the Seaforth Harmony Kings, the guests settled down to learn of the progress achieved during the past year.

First item on the agenda was the approval of an amendment to the by-law changing the date of the fis- cal year. This was approved and followed by an explicit analysis of the present financial status of the organization. The chairman stated that it had been a challenging year, for as well as the day to day running, there had been co-operation with other seg- ments of health care services re the One Stop Access pilot program in the County of Huron, implementa- tion mplementa tion of which had still to be achieved. TCH, she said, were also taking part in a research project of the Gerontology Department of the University. of Guelph. Another project had been undertaken to in- crease awareness of the role of ,homemakers in the county. Because of the increasing concern relative to the inadequate rates of wages and benefits set by the gov- ernment for homemakers, TCH be- came involved in a rally at Queen's Park.

Presenting the Executive Direc- tor's Report, Jean Young again re- ferred to the chronic underfunding with which the home support in- dustry had to contend, as well as staff turnover, a deficit situation and decreased service hours. However, she said that the Inter- ministerial Report released in June 1988 did include 28 recommenda- tions'addressipg these issues. The crisis which had developed led to an emergency debate and an announce- ment by the Honourable John Sweeney, Minister of Community and Social Services, that provision of deficit funding would be availa- ble subject. to an operational re- view. Following the May 1989 budget, an increased compensation level was promised, and this new rate system is scheduled to be in opera- tion by September 1989. The excellent work of homemak- ers was clearly exemplified in a short video which demonstrated practical ways in which the elderly and disabled were maintained, sup- ported and helped to maintain their independence on an economical ba- sis. This unscripted evidence brought a sense of reality to the im- portant role played by homemakers and home care workers, both from their individual viewpoints and those of their clients. The new slate of officers were ap- pointed, and following this, well merited awards were made to Annie Hartman and Lois Hodgcrt in recog- nition of 10 years service to TCH. The staff, homemakers and volun- teers were all thanked for their con- tributions, with special reference to Jean Young for her untiring uon and endeavour. THE SALE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IS HERE!!!
