Times Advocate, 1997-04-23, Page 30Association earns money for shelter STANLEY TOWNSHIP On April (6, over 200 women teachers, bus drivers, custodians. secretaries and educational assistants em- ployed by the Huron County Board of Education joined together at the Huron Women Teachers' Associa- tion's Annual -Charter of Rights Banquet and Auction. The event, held at the Stanley Township Com- munity Centre, commemorates the anniversary of Me inclusion of women into the Canadian Charter of Rights in the mid 19110's.. The Federation's first Charter of Rights Banquet in Huron began ap- proximately 10 years ago, at which time the Huron Women Teachers' Association honored the occasion by presenting a $250 cheque to what was then called Survival Through Friendship House. A long association with the shelter began, and within a few years the dinner had expanded to an annual action encompassing all female - employ- ees of the Board and earning over • $4,000 per year. Michele Hansen. Director of. the Shelter recognized this long-term commitment Wednesday evening and Susan Pye. Chair of the Board of the. Women's Shelter and Coun- selling Services Huron. presented Willi Laurie. President of the Women Teachers' Association with a. plaque honoring the long-time partnership between the two organi- zations. Willi Laurie noted that. as teachers and education workers, all those present were very aware of the hurt. shame and learning diffi- culties.children suffer as a result of abusive home situations. She com- pared the effect of an abusive' envi- ronment to a domino fan where one child's experience expands to other generations, to other people in his or her environment, to other stu- dents 'in his or per classroom. if only one child can be helped by the understanding of a caring teacher or educational worker, or by the funding that allows counselling to take place. then that fanlike domino effect' can also be arrested. to make a huge difference in society. After entertainment by Betty Jinks and her partner Al Alderson, silent, loonie and bidding auctions were run by Nancy McKeon.
