The final funds raised locally by the Heart Foundation was $88,000, a quarter of which came from the "Heart to Heart" bon- spiel. The money comes from the enthusiasm. of the curlers who en- ter, and that en- thusiasm has been un- believable. In order to ensure the success of the spiel this year, the organizing committee is hoping to lure the last 10 Brier winning skips (1973 to 1983) to compete. Five of the 10 have played in the spiel already and they include Ed Luko- wich of Calgary, Kerry Burtnyk and Jim Ursel of Winnipeg along with local skips Al Hackner and Bill Tetley.

Joan Sum- mers, the Ontario Re- gional Director will be present to talk about CANSAVE's over- seas programmes, - as well as volunteer oppor- tunities in Canada. CANSAVE is a Cana- dian, voluntary, inter- development agency which funds ' community development and child welfare pro- grammes in 25 under- developed countries. CANSAVE has recently changed its focus from Individual Child Spon- sorship to Community Sponsorship. CANSAVE has converted to Com- munity Sponsorship be- cause it believes that the sincere desire of spon- sors and donors is to' help the maximum num- ber of children as ef- fectively as _ possible. Community sponsor- ships enable families and communities in the Third World to com- bat problems which have threatened the well being of their children for generations. The beneficiary is not ONE child, but ALL children within a project area. All projects which improve a community's environment, benefit the children who live there. The list of pro- jects is endless and de- pends always on_ local circumstances. For example: In Haiti, the installa- tion of potable water is helping to. eliminate dysentery type diseas- es which formerly killed many children under five. crop im- provements and increas- ed harvest are bringing about better nutrition for children and ad- ults. In Peru, day-care facilities are increasing safety for young child- ren of working parents and preparing them for entry into school; And in Grenada, the furniture building pro- gramme is bringing em- ployment to single mo- thers so that they can better provide for their children. In order to fund these programmes, CAN- SAVE volunteers. in Canada perform many fund raising activities from nation-wide cam- paigns such as the Christmas Card Sales and Penny Appeal cam- paigns in retail stores, to local fund raising events such as Craft Sales, Bridge Club events, fund raising dinners, and other special events. CANSAVE volunteers also play an educational role in their communi- ties. Through our Valen- tine Tree programme, CANSAVE volunteers work with primary school students and teachers to bring the realities of "Lesser De- veloped Countries' to our awareness. If anyone is interest- ed in becoming involved with CANSAVE to sup- port these development activities in the Third World, or wants to find out more about over- seas programmes, the Information Meeting will be at the Terrace Bay Recreation Cen- tre in the Conference: Room on April 26th from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. A Festival with Flare!
