New Executive Elected at Community Care Meeting Section Two ' The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 20,1984 9 New Bicycle Clinic Opens Here Newcastle Community Care held its annual year end meeting Monday evening, June 11th when they reviewed the year's accomplishments and elected a new executive for 1984-85. The retiring executive is pictured here with a cake of appreciation for their year's work. They are (sitting) Gail Rickard, Chairman ; (second row left to right) Doris Welsh, Secretary; Bonnie Reid, Vice Chairman; Lome Bowers, Board Member; and Bonnie Cowle, C.I.V.P. Representative. The past year has been very productive for the Newcastle Community Care, according to reports presented at the group's annual meeting Tuesday, June 12th at Memorial Hospital. The organization's goal of $1,500.00 for 1983-84 was met through numerous fund raising events such as the fall bazaar, the operation of minibazaars, minibazaars, and the Craft Corner located in the main office. Donations of'$3,000.00, a town grant of $1,050.00 and a United Way pledge for $4,500.00 also helped Community Care to reach its 50 per cent funding objective forCOMSOC. As in the past years, the demand for these services has continued to grow. The list of clients has increased, mileage rates are up, and volunteers have provided more service than ever before. All of Community Carets special events, such as the Museum Tea during Senior Citizens' week and the Open House at Birthday and Christmas occasions were met with great success. Perhaps one of the year's greatest accomplishments was to have the Meals on Wheels Program expanded to include Hampton and Courtice residences. This service, operates on a no-loss basis with the entire cost of the meals being met by the senior citizens who receive them. Other activities such as the monthly Lunch-Out Program at Strathaven Nursing Home and the Birthday Card Program serving over 100 seniors, will also continue to run because of their pleasing results. There is obviously a growing interest in foot care which was apparent by the number of senior citizens who joined the Foot Clinic. The program, operated by Public Health Nurses, operating every first and third Tuesday of each month, served over 113 clients this year. At present, the Community Involvement and Volunteer Program, which has been working with psychiatric and emotionally disturbed patients is striving toward opening a drop-in centre and out patient clinic for such cases at the Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville. U.C.W. Presbyterial Conference at Foxboro At the United Church Women's Presbyterial and Conference Officers' Leadership Development Workshop which was held at Foxboro United Church, Foxboro, Ontario, on June 4, 1984, action prompted by concern for social needs of the community seemed to stand out above the many areas of activity of U.C.W. today. This was the summation arrived at by Mrs. B.J. Klassen, Conference Minister for Leadership and Development, who led a panel discussion, "Where's U.C.W. Going in the 80's", in which each Presbyterial President shared her Presbyterial's activities. Social services such as Kingston's "Bridgehouse" where visitors to prisoners can find low-cost accommodation, Peterborough's Peterborough's Edmonson House, homes for battered women and children, the "South Oshawa Community Development Project" which gives single parent family assistance, meals to senior citizens, among others, some in conjunction with government projects, were described.

Developing the theme "It's in the Bag", each participant received a brown paper bag which contained the agenda and a coloured pencil to be usèd later in the Bible Study which was drawn on the back of the agenda. Interaction with new acquaintances was part of the Bible study, wherein personally definitive words were found and marked in the scripture passage Ephesians 4:7,11-13. The worship service which preceded Bible study was entitled "Life's Handbags". A bit of appropriate scripture was pulled from the shopping bag, the flour bag, the rag bag, etc., along with a visual sample. Portfolio workshops were led by Conference U.C.W. officers, clarifying direction and purpose to new officers and re-inforcing commitment of others. Mrs. B.J.
