TRY (The Responsibility is Yours) contributed $5,000 to the
Terrace Northern B.C. Winter Games last week. Skeena MLA
Dave Parker delivered the cheque to NBCWG rep Campbell
Stewart. TRY is a provincial government program to combat
substance abuse, and its support for the games recognizes sports
as an alternative to drug and alcohol abuse.

The Northern B.C, Winter Games executive would like to ex- a
press their sincere thanks to.all the people whose help and co- — ia
operation went into the Telethon. The participants have been ——s

I Stewart, and the Chairperson of the Telethon, Gayle Appleton.

Both these people are extremely efficient workers, well organized
and, for these upcoming Winter Games as at all other times, very

. dedicated to the community and especially if the activities involve
the youth of our area. Thank you to you both and all members
of your committees for what you have already accomplished and
what we know will be forthcoming between now and that first
weekend in February.

Fund raising is a most important aspect of these Games, and
some of the many possible ways you can assist would be to
become a ‘‘Friend of the Games'’, a ‘‘Sponsor’’ or a ‘‘Patron’’.

A Patron is anyone who donates $5,000 or more towards the
Winter Games. So far Terrace Minor Hockey and the TRY Pro-
gram (B.C. Government) are confirmed Patrons and will be hav-
ing their pictures in the local papers, receiving a certificate of
thanks presented during the games, will have a flag flown in their
honour at the opening ceremonies, be noted on a poster at each
game venue and have the admiration and appreciation of the peo-
ple of this area for their generous contribution. ;

A Sponsor is anyone who donates $2,000-4,999 to the Games. ve!
A Sponsor is looked upon as having purchased one of the events
and will have a large banner with their name on it at the event
site, a picture in the paper and a certificate of appreciation along
with the recognition and thanks of the people of the community.
Sponsors so far confirmed are All West Glass, Campbell Stewart
Ent. (A & W), B.C. Rail, Wightman & Smith Insurance Agencies
and Century 21, and Sight and Sound,
