There were four hopefuls to fill three vacant seats at the society’s annual general meeting last Thurs- day night. Olga Power had her Mandate renewed and Betty Stewart and Robert Wood were added to the roster, Incumbent Fred Hislop was the odd man out, and after many years of serving on ' the board will be taking a well- earned rest.

"Regional" was added to the offi- cial title to more accurately reflect the regional nature of health care services in Terrace. explained by Olga Power prior to AS was. : the vote on the name change, §& Terrace is a regional centre serving communities like the Nass Valley, Stewart, Hazelton, Kitimat and Prince Rupert. "This will help us go forward to ‘serve the entire north coast," Power told society membership. "This is part and parcel of our goals and objectives at this time." To this, David Lane added, "For the last 10 years Terrace has served as the centre for the Pacific Northwest in everything but name, and I believe it’s time we stood up and told people what we have in our. community and pursue the regional concept." . Two other motions were passed at the meeting and another was introduced for'a decision in 1991. The first made some minor pro- cedural changes to the election of trustees and the second requires a secret ballot on any decision if any one member makes such a request.

Delgatty put in charge of special health care projects | by Tod Strachan Kathleen Delgatty is back. You may already have noted that fact, she may have sold you an R.E.M. Lee Foundation "Cash Calendar", What you may not know is. just exactly what Kathleen Delgatty is . doing in town. The former acting administrator of Terraceview Lodge took a brief leave of absence for a well-deserved holi- day over the summer and has now been re-appointed as the special project coordinator for the Terrace Health Care Society. The Terrace Health Care Society explains just what a special project coordinator does. For the first month or so, Delgatty will be working alongside volunteers from the R.E.M. Lee Foundation on three of their projects: The RCMP Concert Band benefit performance, which took place at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre monday; the R.E.M. Lee Foundation "Cash Calendar" which is currently on sale and offers a different cash prize for every day of 1991, and Roy Vick- ers’ paintings on sale right now at Northern Lights Studio. With this work out of the way, Delgatty will be spending a little more time in her Mills Memorial Hospital oftice working on a num- ber of different projects for Mills Memorial and Terraceview Lodge. For example, she will be revamp- ing and improving on the society’s | orlentation program for new staff members so there is coordination between the hospital and the lodge. And she will be updating: an out-of-date information package that’s so old it’s hardly ever used. According to Millis Memorial administrator Michael Leisinger this is an important item for re- cruiting new staff, public relations and staff orientation. ‘In other words, says Leisinger, Delgatty will be doing the 10 percent of the work that never seems to get done in any organi- zation but is important to a smooth operation. And, he says, Delgaity’s skills are ideal for the job. . CALLING All Mothers-To-Be!
