Our members’ wish: to Gnd other things to ‘do during this time of the~ year: — vacations, ; gardening, and camping. .

These hours can change when Wo “hold special: events. . I would lite to “heat from any members ‘out-there who have any comments as to why not one tick- et was sold’ for our: proposed Hawaiian Night back in March. Here are. some events: BH On Sunday April 24, the be Ladies auxiliary to Branch 13 will be holding a Sunday Supper’ at the Branch. The well known - event starts at 4:00 pm, so don’ t be late. HM On June the 3rd af‘ the air- port there will be a plaque dedica- ~ tion made commemorating the Terrace Kitimat airport being nsed as an aerodrome between the years 1942 and .1945, : This plaque is to be -unveiled by branch members, and one mem- — ber who was serving at the air-" field in the military at that time. 1- Volunteers are core of community IT’S WORTH a smail fortune, yei costs absolutely nothing. And acknowledging that appar- ent contradiction. is what Volunteer Recognition Week, this weok, is all about. The Terrace Volunteer Bureau has on its books 285 people who give of their time with nearly 60 local agencics benefiting. Between them, they put in more than 10,000 hours of volunteer work over the course of last year: The smali fortune? That's what ihe value of those hours translates io using Slats Canada ignres: - S165, 000. zx Should yon trust Chrysler's advanced technology to just anyone?
