Richards The staff of Bethesda House, a shelter for abused women and their children in Claring- ton, was overwhelmed with the support shown by the community community at Christmas. The shelter's Executive Director, Director, Karen Mayson, said: "The support was incredibly overwhelming." Bethesda House had enough food and gifts not only for women and children currently at the shelter, but also for some families who had required assistance assistance from the shelter earlier in the year. Mayson estimates approximately approximately 30 moms and their children children were helped by the donations. donations. "We gave hampers filled with turkeys, fresh food, canned food, and bread. The hampers also had gifts for the children and for the women, too," she said. The shelter has also been able to re-stock its pantry, thanks to the generosity shown by the community this Christmas. During the first Christmas that Bethesda House has been open in Clarington, Mayson said,"We were at capacity of 15 women and their children." The women and children- were treated to a Christmas day, complete with stockings, presents under the tree and a dinner with all the trimmings. Mayson explained that the food was donated from all sources, including leftovers from Christmas parties. Prior to Christmas, donations were dropped off at the Frank Real Estate office in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. .Mayson told The Clar- ington/Courtice Independent the staff of the real estate office office allowed the collection to take place there. "We thought they would give us a room, and we would go up to collect once a week," May- son said. However, that wasn't the case, once people began bringing bringing food and gifts in. "We picked up stuff almost every day," she said. With Christmas having come and gone, the staff at Bethesda House have started looking towards towards 1996. With that comes the worry of finances and carrying on the work of the shelter. Mayson says: "We would like to see the addition of a child - youth worker, a volunteer volunteer co-ordinator and some outreach outreach workers," she said. These positions would be paid ones, if at all possible. However, the additional staff would require more money -- about an extra $100,000 to be exact.

Mayson said the Board of Directors Directors would be discussing fundraising at its next meeting. It is also hoped the board will know, at that time, if Bethesda House will become a United Way member organization. She did point out the board would be deciding on some major fundraising event. However, However, one event, that is destined to become an annual fundraiser fundraiser is a "Concert in the Park." Last year, a former Bethesda Bethesda House resident organized organized an event on the McLaughlin Day weekend in August that was a smashing success. "We're hoping to move the location this year to the complex complex in Bowmanville. It has lots of space and parking," Mayson noted. Bethesda House has become a part of the municipality, she said. "I feel really positive about the shelter remaining open." "Many of the women say it's nice not to have to take their kids out of school in order to go to a shelter," she said. Mayson noted not all the women who have stayed at the shelter since it opened 11 months ago, have been from Clarington or from close by. "We've had women from the cast coast and from out west stay at the shelter." And not all of the women have been low risk clients. "We have had women here who have feared for their lives, and have gone back to their husbands." While many people still don't understand why some women go back to abusive husbands/ companions, Mayson noted, "I don't think some women have the support of their families. Or they think their children should have a dad, or because of financial concerns they go back." Mayson also looks towards the government. "We already have a system setting women up to return to home," she said. Getting a space in a shelter is not easy, neither is obtaining financial support, nor is finding housing. Mayson, who has worked in other shelters before coming to Bethesda House, says while there is a lot of pain in a shelter, shelter, there is also a lot of joy. She hearkened back to the donations the shelter received this past Christmas, as one of the joys. "There were some people here who had tears in their eyes, after seeing the incredible incredible support we had from the community," she recalled. By Joyce Kelly Sympathy of the community community is extended to Mrs. James Macleod and her family and their spouses on the passing of Jim Macleod after a lengthy stay in the hospital.
