Information Officer Must contribute to vital community Box Acton Ontario Feb 13 The Editor Acton Free Press rSlr I would like to comment on the letter from exdogooder One can only assume that this person has given much of herself and is discouraged by indifference and lack of gratitude Three points are mentioned Reaching the needy Clarification of our alms is probably needed The a immediate goal is to establish a used clothing shop to serve budget minded people as well as low Income or welfare families who can better use this saving for other basic needs The long term goal is to get enough citizens working together in the hope that their various interests and energies can be mobilized and used constructively In our more optimistic moments we envisage an active central community centre serving the needs of all segments and all age groups 2 Receiving thanks Our volunteers will expect little tangible thanks Hopefully some satisfaction will come from meeting interesting people

days is a basic assumption that the giving self usually ends up a happier more Interesting person with a high level of Self respect Self respect is a good measure of the mental health of an Individual and such individuals contribute to a self respecting and vital community Should exdogooder share their experiences we would more than welcome them In this way they could help us old at least some of
