The Community Services Committee, which has been meeting for the last year or two to discuss ways and means to better our town, has divided the ideas into committees for further research. One of the proposals that emerged was a central registry for peo- ple who would like to volunteer their services and to list the services that are available and those who have need of service. As a result, Gert Grundmann, Aileen Frank and Bev Greening have taken on the task of researching an information bureau for Terrace. ‘The first thing we had to do,’’ said Frank, ‘“‘was to find out if such an agency is needed. And if it is, what do people need most and how can we meet that need.” The accompanying questionnaire has been prepared in conjunc- tion with Betty Stewart, the coordinator of Home Support Services in Terrace, The questionnaire will be circulated as widely as pos- sible. The next step, if it is found that a need does exist, is to find a suitable office and people to look after it. If the need is there, an ap- plication will be made to the Seniors’ Independence Program in the Ministry of Socia] Services and Housing for funding. If you know of a need for help of any kind, please answer the questionnaire and mail it to: Box 325, Terrace, B.C.
