Registration Form

TERRACE — With just

over a month remaining.

until the 1986 B.C.
Winter Games, there is
still a need for hundreds
of volunteers.

In an effort to en-
courage the people of
Terrace to offer their ser-
vices, the weekend of
Jan. 24 has been desig-
nated for a massive vol-
unteer drive,

On Friday evening and
all day Saturday, booths
will be set up at the Ter-
race Co-op and in the
Skeena Mall. Games’
hostesses and directors
will be on hand to
answer questions and to
accept volunteers.

Director of Ac-
comodation Marilyn
Kerr said there is a need
for houseparents, stu-
dent guides and able-

bodied men to assist in-

the dismantling of dor-
mitories, which are
located in local schools.

Houseparents will
work eight-hour shifts.
Working in pairs they
will not act in a
disciplinary role but be
there to offer advice,
give direction, offer a
shoulder to cry on and in
general act as a tem-
porary parent.

Interested persons are
encouraged to volunteer
as partners, and, when-
ever possible, for more
than one shift.

Student guides must
be familiar with the
school in which they are
operating. They will be
required to familiarize
athletes with the building
in which they are hous-
ed.
On Sunday, March 2,
all dormitories must be
dismantled, Kerr said.
Able-bodied men are

TERRACE — 1000 and
counting... We still need
more people, said Bob-
bie Phillips, operations
manager for the B.C.
Winter Games.

This past week we top-
ped 1000, but we need a
little over 2000 to make
the games a success, she
explained. A large
recruiting drive for
volunteers will be held
this weekend, Friday
Jan, 24 from 7 p.m. to 9
p.m. and Saturday, Jan.
25 from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. at the Skeena Mall
and Terrace Co-op.

Phillips said videos of
the B.C, Winter Games
will be shown to en-
courage people to stop
and ask questions, ‘‘and
perhaps volunteer.”’

When you have given
your time and talents,
you'll get a great feeling
. of pride, when the games
are over, said Gerry
Martin, promotions
director for the games.
