Vd MEE oaeer Silver Thread people helping people, it's as simple as that captain or other resource person quickly calls two friends of the shut-in. They in turn check. If there's still doubt as to the person(s) where-abouts Tele-Care is contacted. Tele-care in turn calls Contact which in turn calls co-ordinators and/or police and fire personnel who are aware of 'Silver Thread"' program and what it is attempting to do. From there the proper authorities go to the shut- in's address to investigate why there was no an- swer in the first place. "Silver Thread"' is an exciting new telephone reassurance service been organized in North Simcoe for senior citizens and shut-ins or for those who live alone.

Oncea day the various groups go through their phone lists of those seniors and shut-ins who wish to be called. A chain-reaction takes place with the captain making the first call and his or her team making "Silver Thread" amounts to people looking after subsequent calls down their list(s). people.
