Doherty, program chairman for the McHenry county Catholic Education foundation, announced a new gift plan being made available this week for those interested in the foundation's development effort. , Kno^n as the Freedom Gift, the suggested plan calls for a thirty dollar down payment with 36-monthly installments of $7.50. "This represents a $300 total gift for the foundation's endowment fund, but in terms of daily participation is only 25 cents, "stated Doherty. The Freedom Gift takes its namesake from the pluralistic school system Catholics have provided in McHenry cpunty since 1842 when the first church, meeting place, and school built of logs was erected by German settlers in John­ sburg. Freedom of choice, quality of purpose, innovative instruction methods con­ tributed, competition, and the pluralistic educational op­ portunities are a few of the many points the gift plan is Charles T.

Volunteer workers now ac­ tively soliciting pledges in the $500 to $1,500 range over a three-year period will be of­ fering the Freedom Gift plan in their future visits. Additionally, a special program flyer at­ tached to parish bulletins was distributed at Saturday evening and Sunday Masses throughout the county to proceed volunteer worker visits. The Foundation program has been undertaken to provide a new, predictable source of revenue for rising Catholic education budgets in McHenry county. Education programs to benefit from the foundation include parish programs of Christian doctrine and adult education as well as the eight elementary schools and Marian Central high school. "An approach had to be undertaken that would allow long range solutions to our current annual problem of increasing costs. This effort is one that has been used by private as well as public higher education i institutions. More and more a trend toward en­ dowing Catholic education at the primary and secondary levels is being seen," remarked Doherty. Examples cited were in the neighboring states of Wisconsin and Michigan as well as other systems in the Rock­ ford dioceses. "This approach called for the creation of a legal entity, separate of church organizations, to act as a repository for funds so that an investment program can be established. Through prudent investments in quality securities, revenue will be generated that is earmarked solely for education budgets in the county's schools, CCD, and adult education programs," state Doherty. An important facet of this approach is that all individual's gifts become perpetual. For example, each $1,000 com­ mitted produces over every 12»2 year period $1,000 in revenue for education budgets. At the end of this period the original gift is still intact and still invested for the future of Catholic education," remarked Doherty. To show the impact of this effort current education budgets, Doherty provided the following statistics based on projected budgets for the coming four years. "If our endowment todiay was $1,200,000 seven per cent of education budget would be met. Accordingly, if our long range objective of three to four million dollars was realized today seventeen to twenty- three per cent of education budgets would be met. Cer­ tainly one can see the impact this approach will have on Catholic education in the future and why we are actively working to make this project succeed."

"That's what Candy Day is all about." Marcheschi con­ tinued. "The blind or nearly blind turn to us for an answer. Wc give it to them." That answer can take the form of a referral to a doctor or hospital in a particular locale, or mobility training, or emergency financial aid, or a piece of equipment. Two ways to be right -- or wrong: 1) "This is old, thus good," or 2) "This is new, thus, better". "Candy Man Can" Brighten Life For The Blind The Candy Man in the form of more than 28,000 Lions will be out Friday, Oct. 12, to set a record in the Illinois Lions annual Candy Day for the Blind. This year, the "Candy Man can" movie song refrain has special significance, as Illinois Lions work to meet a record- breaking $1 million goal. Last year Lions from some 600 clubs throughout the state raised a record $850,000. During Candy day's 20-year history, Illinois Lions clubs have raised and distributed $7,300,000 to agencies helping the blind and visually han dicapped. Although clubs throughout the state are united in their emphasis on helping the sightless with the proceeds of the one-day campaign. Lions also serve in other community areas -- youth, senior citizens, underprivileged, civic im­ provement, and help to in­ dividual families. "It is the emphasis on spreading light for the blind and visually handicapped, however, that best tells the Candy day story," said Mar­ cheschi, also state chairman of the Lions of Illinois Blind Ac­ tivities Committee.
