It wasn’t the size of the donation —~.41 cents —
that made it special, but rather the individual who:
made it and the simple message accompanying the
money. :

“This money is for the poor people,” five-
year-old Jessica McCooey wrote after carefully .

money and she told us somewhere it could feed
the poor people,’’ Deb added:

Second counsellor
urgently needed |

Faced with increasing dif- f oF
ficulty in meeting the de-
mand for its services, . the
local Northwest Alcohol and
Drug Services office is calling Jae
on community groups to help fam
it lobby the government for |
another counsellor, says the
program's director.

‘At present we have only
one counsellor and she is
horrendously overworked,”
June Campbell said.
Underlining the seriousness
of the situation, she pointed &
out there was now a six week §
waiting period to get an ap- {7
pointment, “and if you need ea
help quickly that’s not doing hall
you a lot of good.” June Campbell

The agency estimated it had lost 15 clients so far this year
because of the backlog, she-added.

In an effort to. alleviate the situation, Campbell said
‘We're putting as many people into groups as we can because
that cuts down on counsellor time.'’” However, even that had
not proved enough.

She also expressed concern the long hours and overtime
currently being put in by counsellor Eve Kusnick would even-
tually take their toll. Apart from regular counselling services,
Kusnick also conducted a relapse prevention group on Mon-
day evenings and therapy groups on the following two nights.

All that added up to more than 60 hours overtime so far
this year with no sign the workload would ease in the future.

Campbell said the NWADS community advisory commit-
tee had been advised of the situation at a meeting held fast

. week and agreed to provide a letter of support for creation of
the extra position. Its 13 members would also be asking the
various community groups they represented or had contacts
with to do the same.

One of the groups operating under the umbrella of the Ter-
race and District Community Services society, NWADS -

‘recelves its funding’ through the Ministry of Labour's alcohol
and drug program.

- Garage sale set ©

If, your annual spring clean has turned up items that are in;
good condition but no longer needed, don't throw them
away,

Mills Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is offering residents a
chance to put those items to good use by donating them to its
garage sale taking place this weekend.

Confirming any articles ‘except clothes’? would be
welcomed, auxiliary member Sally Smaha said the group also

- encouraged residents to bring in plants and baked goods.

As with all money raised by the 39 member arganization,
proceeds from the garage sale would go towards the purchase
of equipment and supplies foe the hospital, she added.

Donors can contact Smaha (635-4243), Aveline McConnell
(635-5650) or Audrey Green (635-3928) who will arrange col-
lection or to have somebody at the Thrift Shop to receive the
items. The sale takes place at the Thrift Shop, 4544 Lazelle
Ave,, 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Andd while the auxiliary welcomed community support for
this particular event, Smaha said it was also looking for new
‘ members to help its year-round fund-raising efforts.
