But 1 think it‘s obvious that every year the operating dollars are less â€" they (government) are not funding capital projects at all. So this (the hospital renova uon) is tuly community ownership." MacDonald, includes contributions by the auxiliary, staff, doctors, boards and committees, and is well on its way to surpassing its goal of more than $3 million. e f *The goal for the hospital family is $5.7 million and they are now at $5.3. And, quite frankly, they‘re still gearing up in that the month of May is going to be their big month," Carroll said. "There will be 1,600 staff that will be called on during that month, so they‘re recruiting for that big solicitation right now. They‘ll have close w 150 volunteers in place to (approach) the entire staff. It‘s a oneâ€"onâ€"one approach to évery staff member â€" they don‘t get a blurb in the mail. So I‘m anticipating that that portion of the camâ€" paign will go well over goal." _‘ : The fundraising campaign, which got underway in June of last year. will continue through June of 1997. The moriey pledged will come in over a fiveâ€"year period. Renovation of the health centre, which will begin this summer and continue throughout the fiveâ€" year pledge period, will cost an estimated $22.2 million. Equipâ€" ment purchases are expected to cost $6 million. Carroll said she‘s not overly concerned about a fundraising lot wery initiated by Toronto‘s Princess Margaret Hospital which is tarâ€" geting residents in Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo. The lottery offers purchasers of $100 tickets the chance to win prizes such as houses, cars, boats and trips. "The message is clear â€" it‘s going to be less and less from govâ€" ermment. And if we‘re going to have the kind of health care that we should have in this community, we‘re going to have to put the shoulder to the wheel," Carroll said. 3 we‘re going to have to put the shoulder to the in s R iaisaks mil_L. _ _ _ _ _ TUZFCVV ~WVPUINNNTICAIndep . .
