Elm St. McHenry 385-7111 a good neighbor, v comr*ny As a result of the generous response to a recent Fish column, the Pantry is thriving for the present. Fish is indeed sincerely grateful the thoughtful I had a call for a lady's dresser, and a chest of drawers for her daughter as they are short on storage space. Another family needs a gas stove and a refrigerator. A third family also needs a chest of drawers, a counter- height cabinet for the kit­ chen work area, a twin bed and a medium-size kitchen table. Still another family is in need of a house to rent. Four bedrooms are necessary. If anyone is able to help in any way with these requests, please call Fish at 385-0258. Everyone is urged to give serious consideration to offering one day a month to Fish. Volunteers are needed for telephone standby, (day or night), transportation in the McHenry area, com­ panionship, housework for the sick, or baby sitting. Please call Fish for answers to any questions. May God give to everyone, at this time and for always, His peace in the soul, His presence in the heart, and His power in life. M.G.

Once again, twenty-four hours of magic occurred as thirty-two McHenry-Wonder Lake area residents shared "That Extra Step for Easter Seals" at the third annual Easter Seals-WXRD Dance- a-thon with Heidi Winters, the 1980 McHenry County Poster Child, of McHenry. Heidi, making her public debut Saturday afternoon for Easter Seals, spurred on dance participants by requesting that* her favorite song, "Saturday Night Fever", be played. The crowd cheered as Heidi returned again Sunday morning to lend her support, as the grand total of $28,165.30 was announced. There was no evidence of a generation gap as an Unusual 170 dancers, ranging urage from eleven to sixty- one, joined hands in part­ nership in a drive to secure pledges for the Easter Seal Therapy center in Wood­ stock. The dance marathon has become McHenry County Easter Seals Society's strongest annual fund- raising affair. Last year, McHenry county residents brought national recognition to the local therapy center by ranking second in the whole country, with $35,054. These impressive totals continue to be only a small portion of the funds needed to support the center's programs. Clients, for example, are never refused the services of the center's Speech, Physical and Oc­ c u p a t i o n a l T h e r a p y departments, due to an inability to afford treatment. Funds from the dance-a-thon help to offset the high cost of these services. Easter Seals is not a member of United Way, and relies on its own fund-raising efforts to provide much- needed services. A truly impressive fact is that 97 percent of all funds raised remain in McHenry county, with 76 percent of the total budget going into direct services. Hold Parenthood Sessions Mrs. Fran Scholpp, R.N., obstetrical department supervisor, wishes to an­ nounce that prospective mothers and fathers are invited to two "Preparation for Parenthood" sessions at Memorial hospital for McHenry county. They are scheduled for Monday, Mar. 3 and Mar. 10, 8 p.m. in the hospital dining room. "Early announcement is made now so that parents-to- be can mark these dates on calendars and reserve them for these informative sessions," Mrs. Scholpp explained. "In previous sessions many iathers-to-be have attended, in addition to prospective mothers. We are very pleased with the in­ terest in this program," Mrs. Scholpp continued. The program is presented by Memorial hospital for McHenry county, in cooperation with members of the medical staff and the hospital staff. Each session will include movies and talks, and no charge is in­ volved. * The films include "Prenatal Care" and "Labor and Delivery". A member of the medical staff will lead the discussion on prenatal care and on labor and delivery at both the Mar. 3 and 10 sessions. A tour of the hospital's maternity department will also be included. BPW Program Discussed WORKSHOPS Two-week workshops for registered nurses are con­ ducted six times each year by the Illinois Department of Public Health. They are designed to develop and improve the knowledge and skills of professional rehabilitation nursing staff in hospitals, home health agencies and long-term care facilities. The first workshop will be held at Chanute Air Force Base hospital, Ran- toul, Mar. 17-21 and 24-28. For enrollment information contact Lorraine M. Wood, R.N., Division of Curriculum Development and Training, Illinois Department of Public Health, 525 W. Jef­ ferson, Springfield, 62761. When the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club met recently, the Foundations committee was in charge of the program, and presented a history of the group. Founded in 1956, by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc., the BPW foundation is a non­ profit research and educational organization h e a d q u a r t e r e d i n Washington, D.C. The national federation is a membership organization of 160,000 working women in hundreds of different career fields. Through establishing and supporting the foun­ dation, the federation ex­ tended services it provided its members to all workings women. An Employer Advisory committee, made up of corporate, education and government represen­ tatives, works with foun­ dation trustees and com­ mittees to shape policy and programs of mutal benefit to working women and the employer community. Today, the BPW foun­ dation carries out an in­ tegrated program of research, information and education to improve the quality of working life for women. The^ foundation builds innovative programs for business and professional women based on years of solid experience and thorough research. After more than two decades of ground breaking work, it is a vital connection and valuable resource for working women and their employers. Skilled, qualified women can achieve the quality of worklife they seek with the cooperation of their em­ ployers. Skilled, qualified women can also make a tremendous impact on economic productivity. The BPW foundation's programs help make these things happen. Mrs. Edna (Hugh) Fan­ ning, Foundation chairman presented a slide-talk on "Women Helping Women with Scholarships." Members are urged to remember the Spring District BPW meeting Mar. 9 at the Hoffman House, Rockford, 111. Gourmet Cooking Day To provide an opportunity for sharing knowledge and talents, a day of gourmet cooking is scheduled Feb. 16, for members of the Home and Hearth Homemakers Extension association. "What You Wear Is You" was the lesson enjoyed at the last regular meeting of the group, in the home of Mary Harrer. Pat Ottensen and Cindy Harris presented a very interesting program using designer fabric. Cindy Harris advised the members of the final plans for promoting Homemakers Extension Association week, proclaimed by* the state of Illinois to be Feb. 24 through Mar. 1. In addition to news releases and radio coverage the association will sponsor a booth at the Crystal Point mall Feb. 23 and 24. Crafts and baked goods will be available, as well as demonstrations and in­ formation on the educational program. International All County Day will be held Feb. 20, at the Farm Bureau. This year, the lesson will be on Ireland, featuring Lillian Strom as guest speaker. A craft night is planned for the 25th, to make stuffed Christmas trees, macrame and broom stick lace„ - Anyone interested in joining one of the world's l a r g e s t o f f - c a m p u s educational programs is invited to contact Mrs. Ben (Lois) Jacobs, Ringwood road, Wonder Lake, or call the Extension office, 338- 3737. •••••COUPONHHBBI 6 FREE DONUTS (When you purchase a dozen) '1 I I I I I I i : I I I I Come into any participating Dunkin* Donuts Shop and gat 6 free I --_ ••*--- * - - a akaiMkuA A -* •> •! »• I * - ' • O ® donuts when you purchase a dozen at the regular price.
