Centre $3,000 Grant Clarington council has decided to give a one-time only grant to the Brownsdale Community Centre cast of Newcastle Village. "I don't want them to go down the tubes, but 1 believe this is opening the door to abuse," Councillor Ken Hooper Hooper said. The volunteer board of the Brownsdale community centre has requested requested a $3,000 grant to get them over some "turbulent times," says Fleurette Simmonds in a letter to council. "The Executive held a meeting on Sunday, July 11, to discuss the financial financial state of the Centre. Our bookings for the hull have fallen drastically, leaving u^lo manage on what we take in from Bingo and the sale of Nevada tickets on Monday nights. This is just not enough to meet our commitments," commitments," states a letter from Ms Simmonds. Simmonds. Looking back at the first of the year, councillors recalled another request request from the hall board to pay some outstanding liyrdo bills. Clarington Treasurer Marie Mara- ho told council members there lmd been "an error made on the invoices" and money designated from the council council was not given to the board, Council added a provision that when the Treasurer sent the cheque for the required monies, that it is noted noted on next year's budget request. Also, members of the board will be invited to discuss the running of the hall with municipal stuff. Mayor Diane llumrc told council members that "If we had staff running the hall it would be expensive." However, she questioned if there was enough business to warrant the hall continuing operation. "Why should they 1m working so hard, if there's no need?," Mayor I luinre wondered out loud. by Lorraine Manfredo Roxy Bames, manager of Clarington Clarington Community Care, was the keynote speaker at the Thursday, July 15th, meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club. Ms. Bames spoke to members about changes that have taken place in Community Care over the past year and how those changes will likely affect affect future services. Staff at Community Care are making making do with less funding and increasing increasing demand for service. Workers currently serve a client base approaching the 1,000 mark, and almost half are over the age of 75. It's because of funding difficulties that a special Seniors' Centre is not in the cards just yet, Ms. Bames informed informed Rotary members. The Bowmanville Rotary Club has been an active partner in the municipality's municipality's ongoing investigation into the possibility of building a centre for seniors. The municipality conducted a study, initiated by Rotary, in 1988. It showed a definite demand for such a facility. Unfortunately, while the need may be apparent, the funding is not. Bames encouraged club members to "keep the momentum going" in its push for a Seniors' Centre. She urged them not to abandon their interest in the project so that "we'll eventually see this happen." Roxy Bames visited a new Seniors' Seniors' Centre in Uxbridge which is run by seniors. Several Community Care services, such as foot care and luncheon luncheon projects, are housed right in the building. "Go see it," she urged. "We can learn from them when we get one going going here." This past year, Community Care in Clarington made the move to new, more spacious quarters. The air- conditioned offices, at the comer of Scugog and King Streets, offer more privacy and comfort to clients discussing discussing personal matters. Our volunteers are the cream ,of ; the crop, Bames says. With their help, Community Care is able to run 11 Meals on Wheels routes, 14 foot care clinics monthly, yard work, home help, transportation services, help with income taxes and an assortment of other out-reach services services for elderly and isolated residents. residents. Staff do daily phone checks on those who are frail or ill and who live alone. "There are a lot of people out there who are really lonely. You may not think that's such a problem in our small community, but it is," said Ms. Bames. "So, when you see your older neighbor, take some time and say 'Hello' or bring them along to church with you." Bames gave credit to the Royal Canadian Legion, local council, the Kinetics, and an assortment of charitable charitable groups and individuals for their support of Community Care. "If you ever feel really cynical, come on in," says Bames. "If you meet some of the people and sec how the volunteers give of themselves, it will amaze you."
