r « i in the building and continuing management of the addition to Hawthorne Manor and now the building of Hawthorne Lodge Our volunteer Society members as well as others have spent their tine, effort and funds in the development and management of these facilities. The financial savings made by our volunteer efforts If these volunteer services were replaced by paid government officials the increased costs would be paid for by the Senior Citizens and local taxpayers. A. request for Senior governments to take over these facilities is a. request for higher taxes, with perhaps less benefits than our Senior Citizens now enjoy. ‘ The assistance of elected officials and government employees at all levels is herewith acknowledged. Without their assistance none of the Society's projects would have been possible, Respectfully submitted. Yours truly, ; : Port Co nitlam Senior Citizen's Housing Society per G.
