The McHenry county chapter activities for the year July 1, 1976 to June 30, 1977 were: Service To Military. Families And Veterans: 187 individuals were given 235 services, with 341 contacts made on the total cases. Services included verifications for the military for emergency leaves or ex­ tension of leaves, notifications of births, critical illnesses or deaths for military families, reports regarding delayed allotments, health and welfare inquiries, assistance in ob­ taining military allotments or Veteran Administration benefits, financial assistance to military families from chapter funds, counseling in personal and family problems, and referrals to other agencies. This case load also included three foreign-inquiry reports and one disaster-weltare inquiry for civilians. First/Aid: There are forty Red Cross first aid instructors in McHenry county. A total of forty-one classes were taught in standard and first aid with 519 certificates issued. There are now four qualified CPR in­ structors authorized. One CPR class was taught, with thirteen crtificates issued. Water Safety And Small Craft: One-hundred thirty-two water safety instructors, five basic swimming instructors and one handicapped instructor in McHenry county taught 168 water safety courses.x One thousand three hundred seventy-five certificates were issued. Volunteers: Five hundred volunteers contributed 2,500 dozen cookies to the veterans at North Chicago VA hospital at Christmas. Two volunteers also contributed 253 hours, there. One hundred seventy-six volunteers helped with letters soliciting for United Way funds in Crystal Lake, and as office help. Eighteen volunteers also served in two nursing homes. Fund Drive: The quota for the 1976 Red Cross fund drive was $40,871 for McHenry county. Of this amount, $30,000 was raised for national and chapter expenses. This was done through the March membership drive, benefits, and the United Way con­ tributions from Crystal Lake, Cary, and Fox River Grove. Blood Program: There were two blood drawings in Cary during the past year for the Mid-America Red Cross Regional Blood center. Sixty volunteers served as blood- aides while two hundred and fifty donors participated. Stuff: In February, 1977, (Facts from McHenry Community high school) Your Tax Money At Work Only a nickel a day per student and twenty-six cents per athlete is the cost of co- curricular activities and the athletic program to the tax­ payers of McHenry high school. This was the finding of the Task Force Co-Curriculaf sub­ committee, headed by Bob Mortell. In the committee's search for curtailment recommendations to the Board, this particular committee found that costs in this area are minimal, compared to the outstanding variety and types of programs offered. There are as many as forty- two different co-curricular activities offered in the district, ranging from music, drama, art, student publications to outdoor club, aikido, student government, cheerleading, GAA, and intramurals. As many as 2,100 students par­ ticipate in co-curricular ac­ tivities, with a total budget of $21,600. This figure plus the athletic program costs represent only 1.3 percent of the total school district's budget. In view of these figures, it is evident that the school Board, administration, and staff have been operating these activities at a very reasonable cost' to the tax- paying public. The value of co- curricular programs as compared to their cost is an accolade for the district. When studying the operating cost of McHenry's Athletic Program, the committee conducted a survey involving eight other schools. Com­ paratively, McHenry ranks first in the number of sportsA offered to both male and female students. As many as thirteen different major sports make up that program. In the same study, McHenry ranks eighth out of nine in sports budget allotted. The only possible area of curtailment, which the com­ mittee suggested, was eliminating coach's travel, a possible saving of $500. This was the only item the com­ mittee could find to save money and not affect kids directly. The committee feels the retention of co-curricular and athletic activities is a vital part of every student's education. The members consisting of Bob Mortell, George Cadotte, Barb Slater. Karen Kent, Barb Sch- maling and Ken Ludwig are to be commended on the extensive time given and excellent study conducted of the school district's co-curricular and athletic programs and budgeting.
