WHY DID THE EASTER SEAL SOCIETY UNDERGO A NAME CHANGE? Though we are probably better known by our original name - Ontario Society for Crippled Children - it was changed in 1981 to its present name - The Easter Seal Society. 1981 was a significant year for it marked the International Year of Disabled Persons. With the goals of I.Y.D.P. in mind, our name was changed to discard the word "crippled" and the negative connotations that surround it. WHO GOVERNS THE EASTER SEAL SOCIETY? The Society is governed by 42 volunteer directors who form our board. They are men and women from all areas of the province who are experienced experienced and educated about the needs of physically disabled children. From this group, 14 members are elected to the Executive Committee which is directly responsible for formulating Society policies and advising other board members of programs the Society should improve, or new ones we should under- ilOW MANY STAFF MEMBERS WORK FOR THE EASTER SEAL SOCIETY? There are'139 full-time people on staff at The Easter Seal Society. Out of this total, 75 are stationed in various locations across Ontario to ensure that quality provincial services are being carried out. Nursing Service involves our largest portion of full-time personnel, with 37 nurses and 33 nursing secretaries situated throughout the Society's 22 district offices. Because of the need for personalized attention' required for children who attend Easter Seal camps, an additional 200 people are hired each summer to ensure the best possible care for our campers. WIIAT IS TIIE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE EASTER SEAL SOCIETY? Since our beginning, the Society has worked to ensure that the needs of every physically disabled child are met. It is our basic objective to continue this through the provision of vital services, required equipment, treatment and counselling facilities, as well as to strive to improve existing programs through research. It is our goal to provide Easter Seal children with every possible opportunity to one day realize their maximum maximum level of ability. WHO ARE THE CHILDREN SERVED BY THE EASIER SEAL SOCIETY? At present, there are more than 6,400 children in Ontario who receive direct assistance from The Easter Seal Society. Though the types of disabilities disabilities vary, the Society basically serves the needs of every child and young adult under the age of 19 whose activity is restricted by nerve damage, muscle or skeletal abnormaltics, amputation, or any other defect which produces a physical disability. THE IMPORTANCE; OF SERVICE CLUBS TO OUR VOLUNTEER BASE As the message of the "original ten" service clubs spread, others joined in this challenging service. Today there arc 237 affiliated Easter Seal service clubs representing representing a volunteer base of approximately 10,000 members from : Rotary, Kiwanis,Kinsmen Lions and others THE ROLE OF SERVICE CLUBS As the backbone of The Easter Seal Society, service clubs play a major role in the network of the Society. Each club organizes its comunity's annual Easter Seal direct mail campaign and other special fund-raising events to help the Society meet its financial requirements. In 1983, their combined efforts succeeded in raising approximately $2.5 million, Apart from raising funds, Easier Seal service clubs also handle the responsibility of administering administering Easter Seal funds for local - assess the needs of the child - make recommendations for treatment and required equipment equipment - co-ordinate the provision of the Society's services by working closely with Easter Seal service clubs in the district - inform the families of aid programs by government or other agencies - listen to the problems or concerns of parents With an average caseload of approximately 200 children per nurse,, you can well understand that they are constantly travelling long distances distances and working extensive hours on behalf of the children and families they are responsible for. The nurses also work closely with doctors and treatment centres to arrange appointments, therapy sessions or the provision of equipment. Apart from professional advice and assessments, the nurse is a person who cares for the needs of each family and evolves into an important resource person and friend to each and every one of them. CAMPING There are five Easter Seal camps that are owned and operated by the Society. These camps are strategically located across Canada and service more than 1,000 children annually. We consider our camping program to be instrumental in developing a child's independence and sense of self-worth. Though there are special facilities available that are required for the children, Easter Seal camps do not differ in their approach to camping. Children learn how to swim, canoe, make crafts, learn about nature and much more. For many Easter Seal children, a two-week vacation at one of our camps is their only opportunity to escape their sometimes confined environment in their communities or homes. It also gives them an opportunity to experience the thrill of making new friends who understand what living with a physical disability is all about, and for many, camping sparks renewed confidence and determination to overcome their particular disability. There is also a provision for family camping, where families with other children as well as a physically disabled child have access to facilities required to enable them to enjoy a holiday in the outdoors as a unit. Parents cannot set a time when their daily work with a physically disabled child is over. For many severe cases, this becomes a 24-hour labor of love that goes on day after day. Camping, therefore, serves as a needed source for parent relief. CAMPING COSTS No child who wishes to attend an Easter Seal camp is refused because of a lack of funds. Though this can be quite costly to the Society - $553.50 for 13 days (or $42.50 per child, per day), the benefits children and families gain from camping far surpass the costs. TRACK THREE SKI PROGRAM This recreational program has evolved into a unique outdoor pleasure for physically disabled children and young adults. Expert ski instructors teach disabled persons how to ski and more importantly, 1 get them involved in a sport that they are previously shut out from. The Easter Seal Society has supported Track Three since its inception in 1972 and, like our camping program, skiing provides an outlet for physically disabled persons to overcome their disability and enjoy themselves in an activity that does not restrict them. CLINICS Each year 11 clinics are held throughout areas of northern Ontario for the benefit, of children where long distances make it difficult for proper treatment, More than 1,000 children are examined at these clinics, which also serve Turn to Page 7 "Keep YOUR Food Costs DOWN -- Shop By The Box" (££5) ISMfinfir 41 kfl 3.28 NEVER FROZEN ^FROM CANADA PACKER8 FRESH CHOICE V«l*| CANADIAN V LAL SHOULDER LB. 1 „ ,\ 341 mL TIN' 1 FROZEN CONCENTRATED WITH HONEY / \\ - ^ , ORANGE OR «««.m.™/.
