Getting Ready for Birthday Celebrations It wouldn't be a birthday party without balloons. The Town's Community Care Centre in Bowmanville was getting ready for celebrations of its first birthday last week. Shown here are Diane Hamre, Com- munity Care co-ordinator (left) and volunteer Pauline Foster of Bowmanville, On October 3rd, Com- munity Care will he holding an ail-day birthday celebration at its headquarters in Bowmanville with the publie invited to drop in. During the evening, there will be an annual meeting of the organization in the Newcastle United Church beginning at 7:30 p.m. Fir11st Yeatr WaLMsSuccdgessfEUI really need help and she said she believes there are many more seniors who should be taking advantage, of the program but are not doing so. Clients Needed Findine more clients and more volunteers will be one of of the goals of the project when it enters its second year. When you think of the amount of work that is done by Community Care in the municipality, its cost is small. Total cost of the Bowmanville office is $9,000 this year, Mrs. Hamre saîd. Senior citizens pay part of the Community Care costs by fees for volunteer work. Transportation- costs a minimum of one dollar with a charge of 10 cents per mile beyond three miles. "I like meeting the seniors and I like the contact with the volunteers," Mrs. Hamre explained. She also pointed out that one of the benefits of working for Community Care are the friendships that develop. In the process of, providing a needed service, in the community,, volunteers are making friends with senior citizens and seniors are making friends with volunteers. In addition, volunteers are meeting other volunteers, and seniors are making friends with other seniors. With one year almost behind it and another year beginning, Community Care looks like a good deal for all, concerned, 'Gâe Yourseff Httoe Od&!

Accepted Judging from the facts and figures from the centre's first year of operation, the project seems to have been warmly accepted by the community. Community Care in Newcastle grew much more quickly than organizers had expected, Mrs. Hamre says. The co-ordinator listed the following statisties which give some idea of just how much the project has been used here. With the year not quite over, volunteers had provided 6,907 ¾ý hours of work, Help was provided by 129 volunteers and 147 clients received assistance. Volunteers drove a total of 10,120 miles when they took clients on errands such as trips to the doctor or shopping faciities. There were 2,790 separate tasks accomplished by the volunteers.

And that description of Community Care is probably the best way to sum up the many jobs that the organization can do. Community Care spends much of its time matching volunteers capable of doing certain tasks with seniors who have certain jobs to do. Community Care has a file of 153 volunteers between the age of il and 90 available. One hundred and sixty five seniors or handicapped persons are on file. So, if a senior needed tranispo.rtation to a doctor's appointment, hie or she would contact the, centre which would attempt to find a driver able to work. It's a system which works very well, according to Mrs. Hamre and she said Community Care is not being abused.
