Whitbh' Free Press, Wednesday, November 2, 1994, Page 33 1Service dire ctory 'How can we work together on behaif of aureyuÉb to strengthen the bond between school and commuitY. TeNeighbour Service Directory is just one smfall step te achieving thisgol Communi ty Visions members have been wrking together for this past 18 months to develop a school-based service directory. The idea is to gather the namse of families from a school area and list them in a directory format with services that they can provide from their homes ie. babysitting, lawn care snow removal. The direct.ory will bo accessible at their local' school. The benefits are twofold, as it facilitates the school neighbourhood to help one another and become a dloser knit community; it attracts neighbours into the school, therefore increasing community awareness at the echool level. E.A. Fairman has decided to undertake this pilot project. The directory will be ready for use beginning this month. Hopefully when people start to use the directory with success, word will spread and more people will return their completed forms. The directory will be updated on a regular basis as necessary so that more people can participate. The directory will be located on the Parent School Community Association bulletin board by the main.offlice and will be recognized by its navy blue and white-coloured title pae whichh as been designed by a student of Fairman. A duplicata directory will be available at the seniors' centre in Whitby. Community Visions plans to ofi'er this roect ta other sehools that are intorested, once the glitches h ave been- worked out of thi s system.
