GESTURE

Kermode Friendship Centre.
president Martin Adams last
week donated a cheque from the
centre's members to Dr. Alex
Enriques ofthe R.E.M. Lee Foun-
dation to go towards the purchase
of the CT scanner for Mill Memor-
ial Hospital.

"The Centre has been raising
money through Bingo, said
Dorothy Davidson, director, “ and
decided to give some of their pro-
ceeds to the CT Scan, which will
be of benefit to all of its members
as well as the community."

The Kermode Friendship
Centre, incorporated in 1976, is
an umbrella organization for
many non-profit community

groups and programs for pre-em-
ployment, recreation, culture,
children and youth. The centre is
funded from many sources, but
core funding comes from the Fed-
eral Ministry of State. Each pro-
gram is funded by different Minis-
tries according to their jurisdic-
tion. Bingo proceeds help with
their discretionary needs and
allow them to support local and
charitable causes.

FRIENDSHIP
BURSARY

Attending college or univer-
sity is difficult for most students
at the best of times. Academic
pressures often loom overhead as
an impossible barrier to success.

Most students who persist, how-
ever, eventually find their way
through the maze.

There are a few very capable
students, though, who never
achieve their goal. All too often
they have one thing in common —
a shortage of financial backing.
Too often they are forced to drop
out of their post-secondary en-
deavours, either due to the addi-
tional stress or the need to pro-
vide themselves with the basic
necessities of life.

Terrace’s Kermode Friendship
Society is trying to do something
about this costly academic loss.
They have announced a bursary
program to assist students in
need who are attending, or who
will be attending, academic or
trades programs at a university,
college, or other post-secondary
institution.
