|< News TheReview Wednesday, November 4, 1992 — A5 ee ease ee ee eee ee ee ee ee Costs down as hospital campaign sfaris by Glenn Werkman The Review A new fundraising campaign Started this week as the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation tar- gets its orthopaedic facility for improvements. The foundation released its manager of fundraising recently to reduce its administrative costs and now telies on a part time person and volunteers to raise money for the community hospital, admini- Strator Robert Myers said. “We were spending way too much on administration,” Myers said. “Donated funds are not to pay for administration.” According to the Society’s Act, a maximum of 20 per cent of donated funds may be used to pay for administrative costs. For the period January to Sep- tember, the foundation had paid out 41 per cent of its proceeds toward administrative costs, Myers said. About $100,000 was raised during that period: With the dedicated volunteers that are now in place, the founda- tion’s acting chairman is confident money will be raised for special projects. g “We had an excellent meeting (Oct. 22), the fundraising cam- paign is going full steam ahead “and everyone is on board and getting things done,” said Joan Dickinson. Dickinson said the foundation had to “bite the bullet’’ and face its accumulating costs with the decision to release foundation fun- draiser Marylouise Wakefield. Wakefield’s position was 75 per cent foundation fundraising and 25 per cent hospital public rela- tions. Dickinson is treasurer of the foundation board and said there were some Serious record keeping problems within the foundation in the past. “The money was coming in but the reporting was not being han- dled properly,” she said. Now, the foundation has a new board of directors and a commit ment to making its Give Us A Break campaign a success. “To meet its immediate need for orthopaedic equipment, the hospi- tal requires $200,000,” fundrais- ing literature says. Also targeted for improvement through foundation funds are new beds in the hospital’s extended care unit and an expansion of the matemity unit to provide a formal labor/delivery room, Myers said. All these projects are eligible for 60/40 provincial grants — if the foundation raises 40 per cent, the Ministry of Health will provide 60 per cent of the total cost. “Our needs are great,” Myers ‘Said.

Which house had the great dark room? Was it the same one with the small kitchen? You saw so much that you can’t remember anything! Many of us have experienced this when we were new to real estate and, — subsequently, we developed little tricks to help us remember the thousands of properties we see each year which can help you too! Arlene Davidsen Carry a notebook with you when you're house-hunting, and give each house its own page. On the top, note the address and price. Next, write down the exterior construction, style and color. Note the color of the living room carpet and walls and any other major feature that will jar your memory when you get home. Some people nickname houses — “the white cat house” or “copper pots house” — anything that will help you retain a mental picture of the property. This will help you to recap the day with the agent and give him or her important feedback that will speed up the search for the perfect home! Let our years of experience and market savvy serve you.
