The second phase of the project viated hom plan when the condition f the children's room at the Halton bmen's Place shelter in Milton was inned out. Clearly, it needed improve- ent.

A 'oung mom and her two sons were nstalled in a freshly appointed urlington apartment. (By and large. urlington has less expensive accom- odation than Oakville.) The two interi- r decorators were Sheridan students eanne Anglin and Margaret Liddon. ith a budget of roughly $l,000, they ansforrned a series of uninteresting, ilthy, noxious rooms into a show piece. i Now, a year past, and the young Woman has gone on to complete suc- mfully her fust year at university.

What we are trying to do is break the cycle by offering these women a positive, fresh outlook, a new focus - and a support system." In Gamble's view, it is actually a "win'/wirNin" situation. A win for the women (and their children) being assist- ed. A win for Sheridan College students for the invaluable experience. And a win for the Rotary Club of Oakville- Trafalgar. "You make a living from what you get," the volunteer suggested, "but you make a life from what you give." "There are no easy solutions (to our social problems). No panaceas," she said. "But this project is a positive step for abused women and their children. A hand up - not a handout." It is working, she added. Maybe not 100% but to a significant degree. So sig- nificant that she thinks the program should be expanded.

She has been film- ing since Second Stage Housing began last year and now has a video titled "Breaking the Cycle of Violence," chronicling every step along the way. The one bad news aspect of this story is that the project has become too big for Gamble to handle as a volunteer. According to the Rotarian, what is need- ed is a full-time coordinator to manage an expanded version of the program. She has been pounding the pavement trying to fmd someone in a government agency who will go out on a limb and finance the salary of such a coordinator in partnership with the Rotary Club.
