The May Court Club of Oakville identifies and fulfils specific needs in its community. By involving member volunteers in fundraisers and through financial assistance, May Court supports established community projects which, when proven effective. may be taken over by various levels of local government or other volunteer organizations. Life in the library has also been made easier thanks to the help of Peter Harris, a Grade 12 student who trouble shoots for computers, and installs all the new software. Christine Chan, another WOSS stu- dent, helps out at lunchtime. Karen Brian, a co-op student from General Wolfe, spends her afternoons doing a wide range of jobs. Gerry Howe worked evenings in the fall to main- tain our vertical file in good shape. Erwin Steinhardt, a "grand-helper", has taken over this daunting task and is also restoring order to microfiche binders. Everyone at WOSS directly, or indirectly, bene- fits hom volunteers. White Oaks Secondary School extends a very special thanks to all our volunteers. Former head secre- tary, Wyn Byrne, Helen Ford, and Helen Strohm have been mainstays in both Student Services and in the main office, cheerfully and effi- ciently filling in wherever they are needed.

Each and every student is positively affected by those who unsemshly contribute their time. Many parents continue to con- tribute in out-of-school educational field trips by acting as supervisors and group leaders while others help by providing transportation and supervision on many shorter out-of- school excursions. Administratively, volunteers are instrumental in assisting in the safe arrival program of our young stu- dents and generally providing their secretarial skills in the omce and library resource centre. Volunteers also add appreciably to school life through involvement in the Catholic Parent Teacher Association (CPTA) which provides a variety of services to our school life including: pizza and hot soup days, play days, and contribute to special functions throughout the year - especially Holy Eucharist, Confirmation and fundraising. enrich the learning experiences by contributions in computer educa- tion, reading, and language activi- ties, art and physical education to name but a few of the direct stu- dent-volunteer interactions.

St. John Ambulance, Oakville Branch. invites the some of its volunteers: Opportunity with St. John While many callers need help in dealing with problems such as drug and alcohol abuse, relationships, parenting, mental and physical health, job and financial stress, and sometimes, hopelessness and suici- dal feelings, by far the most preva- lent problem we hear on our phones is that of loneliness. Many people call just to hear a friendly voice and we are happy to provide that con- tact. Perhaps the best known service of the Crisis Centre is its telephone distress lines, w, ich receive almost 10,000 calls a year. The easy access (just pick up your phone and dial 849-4541) and the fact that calls are confidential and anonymous make this a very simple, comfortable ser- vice to use. Oakville's distress lines are "only a phone call away". In June, the Oakville Crisis Centre will begin its 20th year of service to the community.
