Le Cleir said next year’s -
plan for a Kiddies Sports ©

Day are already in motion
for Victoria Day, instead

of the Saturday: prior to -

the Queen's birthday. We
feel this will give us a

greater crowd as many of |§

the people are away on

Saturday, he noted,

Estimated cost for the

kiddies day was just under
$900 dollars, said Le
Cleir.

Cleir, who wanted to clar-
ify the misunderstanding
in the community.

The Lodge works many
ways to help benefit the
community with various
fund. raising events. Le

Cleir stated a large portion
of the funds collected #..
went to the worthwhile [
_ cause of the Purple Cross, |
the Death Detection Pro-'

gram.
One of the many ways

to raise funds, said Le L_
Cleir, is the annual Elk-A-.

Thon, which was held re-

cently. It’s the same as a-

Walk-A-Thon. — Partici-

‘ pants collect pledges from
‘the public, In 1987, Le .
Cleir said, approximately -

$7,000 was raised in

District 88, which includes -

Smithers, Houston, Ter-
race, Kitimat and Prince
Rupert.

The Elks Lodge also
provides support through
the dream raffle which

helps finance a Kiddies -

Camp. There are three
camps located throughout
the province, he said. One

in Prince George, another —

on Vancouver Island and
the third on the-east side
of the province. The camp
is aimed mostly at handi-
capped children, ° ‘‘They.
have priority,”” however,
said Le Cleir, if Girl
Guides, Scouts or another
group was to make an ap-
plication with us, we
would certainly consider
them,

The Kiddies Camp costs

‘in the area of $350 per

year to operate, Le Cleir
said that to the best of his
knowledge, the Elks never:
had people from Terrace
go. to the camp, It would.
be nice to see youngsters
from the community go,
said Le Cleir,
volunteérs would be need-
ed for additional help with
supervision etc.

Le Cleir stated a con-

ference for all the B.C, |

Terrace, next year, Le
Cleir said that somewhere

in the neighborhood of.

500 guests are expected to
attend not counting mem-
