Mothers’ March weeks. Kinette Gail Wade and Terrace Mothers’ March chairman Robert Finlayson add their sup-

Mothers set
to march

At a ceremony on Friday,
Jan. 5, mayor Jack Talstra and
the Kinsmen Club of Terrace
proclaimed Jan. 15 through Jan.
30 as ‘‘Mothers’ March
Weeks”’,

The first two weeks of
January have been focused on
public awareness. This annual
community blitz will involve
over 30,000 volunteers through-
out B.C, The campaign raises in
excess of $2 million annually.

The March is the main source
of funding for the Kinsmen
Rehabilitation Foundation of
B.C. For 36 years, the Founda-
tion has been helping physically
disabled men, women and chil-
dren achieve the highest level of
independence possible.

Over $14,000 was raised in the
Terrace area last year by 150
volunteers. The money from all
parts of the province is sent to

the central Rehabilitation Foun- .

dation and then redistributed as
needed to: the local clubs. In
1989, Terrace spent $19,000 to
assist the: physically disad-
‘-yantaged, with 60 percent of it
‘going: toward airfares for the
physically disabled to see
specialists in Vancouver. The

other 40 percent is allocated for
wheelchairs, commodes, bath-
lifts and other bathroom equip-
ment. The Kinsmen Rehabilita-
tion Foundation last year pro-
vided equipment, technical aids
and emergency travel assistance
to over 5,000 people in the prov-
ince of B.C. By using referrals,
the Kinsmen Rehabilitation
Foundation tries not to

‘duplicate the services of other

organizations.

Mothers’ March Terrace
chairman Robert Finlayson is
coordinating several activities.
On Jan. 13, the Kinsmen and
Kinette Clubs of Terrace will be
pumping fuel at the Petro-
Canada station on Lakelse Ave.
Proprietor Norm Holmes will
donate a percentage of the oro-
ceeds to the Mothers’ March
campaign.

Finlayson is still looking for
canvassers and area captains for
the Mothers’ March drive. In
each of 15 areas, ten or more
volunteers will be coordinated to
collect for Mothers’
door-to-door.

Please call Robert Finlayson °

at 635-7281 or 638-8231 if you
have any time to donate.
