Sheridan grad looks forward to new challenges The director, currently planning his fourth and final United Way campaign, added that he is pleased to see his accountant and systems man volunteering his services to GARA. "I love to see young people grasping leadership roles," he said. Within the United Way, Deyell explained, Hutchison‘s job was expanding too, to include camâ€" paigning, organizing special events, and working with volunteers directâ€" ly. Working with volunteers is how the young man got drawn into GARA in the first place. THE CLEAanâ€"Up CoONTINUES . . . It seems the Community Service MAKE YOUR OWN BEER WINE Inspired by the major Earth Week Waterways Cleanâ€"Up held at seven locations across Oakville, an individual and a residents association decided to continue the cleanâ€"up effort. Robert Travis, LEFT, organized last Saturday‘s cleanâ€"up of Sheridan Valley Park from Upper Middle Road to south of Grand Boulevard. Some 30 to 40 people helped clean the entire park area. At RIGHT, Stuart Brown, left, and David Binns, ho were hiking through Forest Glade Park, became inyolved with a Sunday cleanâ€"up organized by IRRA, the Iroquois Ridge Residents Association, boosting the number of volunteers to eight. Committee of the residents‘ group had some joint interests with the United Way and Hutchison got invited to some meetings. After that, it was only a matter of time. He‘s not a guy who stands on the sidelines watching the parade go by. GARA ACTIVITIES So what‘s up with GARA, we asked the new treasurer? Well, he said, there‘s the Blue Jay game coming up on May 6th. The big thing, of course, is planning for Summerfest in August and the gala opening of the Upper Middle Road Bridge, also this summer. Hutchison admitted his life is a bit chaotic these days â€" what with wedding plans, in addition to his mounting role at the United Way, and his hot, new duties with GARA. Still he figures to be in good comâ€" pany on his wedding day with his younger sister, Chris, an Anglican Kin Stein Areto House minister, performing the service. He thrives on activity. "With volunteering," he said, "a change is as good as a rest. If you‘re not busy, chances are, you‘d be sitâ€" ting at home in front of the TV," he grinned. "Better to be busy, It‘s fun." Hutchison got into the volunteerâ€" ing habit as a threeâ€"year Business Administration student at Sheridan College. He claimed he never enjoyed school until then and his extraâ€"curricular activities had a lot to do with it. "I learned in class and I learned after class," he asserted. "I left school with an education and an ability to go out and do a job, day one. That is the beauty and the sucâ€" cess of the college system." At Sheridan, Rob was involved in student government for 2 1/2 years and, in his final year, was the (Photos by Riziero Vertalli) student representative on the board of governors. He was acting at blood donor clinics, charity fundraisers, and the full gamut of student events from initiation to year end. Many friendâ€" ships were formed. He is unabashed in his praise of the faculty and staff at his alma mater and in particular the school‘s president, Mary Hofstetter. It could be that Rob has let findâ€" ing his ‘true love‘, Peggy, at Sheridan College color his vision somewhat.

The pair actuâ€" ally met poolside on a school trip to Daytona Beach, Florida. OUTGOING NATURE What seems clear is that Hutchison knows what he likes and what he wants. He is an outgoing guy whose favorite words are superlatives like "awesome and fanâ€" tastic‘" though he claims to have realistic goals. He has worked in downtown Toronto in the garment industry and also at Queen‘s Park, but he is delighted to be back home living and working in the same solid community. "It‘s worth thouâ€" sands of dollars to me," he said. "I am a product of this town," he stated. "It isn‘t that I couldn‘t comâ€" pete in the big city. I‘m not stuck here; I like it here. Oakville has fanâ€" tastic infrastructure, terrific roleâ€" models, and a great future. I want to be a part of it." NORTH SERVICE
