(photo by Michael Martin) Huron Volunteer Bureau tells of aims objectives By Milvena Erickson Bureau does offer special training - programs. The bureau is a very general and somewhat abstract one. Therefore, their screening procedures are not intense, once again because each agency has particular needs and the bureau has limited staff time. The Huron Volunteer -Bureau also acts as a facilitator in developing new programs such as Friendly Visiting, a new volunteer program in $ hospital, Volunteerism for credit in secondary schools, volun- teers in the schools, etc. Since the bureau's official opening date, January 31, 1977 we have been involved in a number of existing programs. They have assisted in the recruitment and screening of volunteers for nursing homes such as Huronview in Clinton; I3raemore in Exeter and Mullett Happenings Kindergarten registration On Tuesday April 26th, our school held the kindergarten registration for the years of 1977-78. The total enrolment was 33. These children will be divided into two classes next.

CANA,IIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD Maitland Manor in Goderich. These volunteers work with the residents and staff in various recreational programs. These include crafts, physical exercise, visiting and entertainment. They are also attempting to provide visitors to those who are unable to attend recreational functions in their community. The intent is that such visitors will provide these people with personal contact and act as a means of helping them to become more involved in these activities. A good part of the rationale for the Bureau's existence is that a major part of their In conservation with Mary Ann Kawbug, oxcBayfield, co-ordinator of the Huron Volunteer Bureau, we learned many interesting things which we thought should be shared with you. Following is a program description of the Huron Volunteer Bureau which Mary Ann has put together for your information. The Huron Volunteer Bureau was developed to meet the need for a central information registry for volunteers and agencies and organizations which utilize the talents and skills that volunteers can provide. They attempt to match the individual's personal needs, talents and skills to the needs of a particular situation in order to maximize the in- dividual's satisfaction. In the process, ;hopefully, a more effective service is provided. Because they have a responsibility to see that the volunteer is placed and participates in a well- functioning volunteer prograrn, the Bureau helps agencies and organizations to develop various aspects of their volunteer programs such as orientation and supervision. The Bureau does not attempt , to recruit all volunteers for a particular program but assists in the total recruitment effort. Often, however, we can find a volunteer who has a special talent. Because the needs of each agency are unique, the function is to place volunteers in rewarding and satisfying positions with various agencies and groups. In doing so, they hope they are giving information and assistance to members of the community who are looking for ways to spend their leisure time. For example, the bureau has volunteers trained to complete 1976 income tax forms for senior citizens and are finding that these people are enjoying the task during their free time. They have assisted people in finding ways to develop their personal skills, through acting as readers for blind or physically handicapped and developing relationship skills by visiting homebound and writing public relations material for the Bureau. The Bureau wants to extend a warm invitation to those wishing to provide volunteer services in the community. If you have a special skill you can offer or simply want to lend a helping hand, please give them a call. If you are already involved in Volunteer work, you may be able to help us extend themselves further. Please call and talk to them about your special interests and concerns at 482-3037.
