Arkelian, the 1985 United Way Campaign chairman lias announced that the objective for this year's campaign has been set a t $1,915,000. "This year's themne," says Arkelian, "is 'We are United' and the campaign committee hopes that the com- munity will unite and support their United Way. Many agencies request financial sup- port and sometimes they have to be turned away. We would like to support every worth- whle agency in our community. IlWith your support in this year's campaign, the objective will be at- tained and we will be able to help those in our community who are in need, " le added. The six week cam- paign will begin with a kick-off luncheon on Monday, Sept. 30 and will end on Friday, Nov. 8. In addition, a number of promotions and special events involving the member agencies are being planned to coincide with the 1985 campaign. Arkelian has been in- volved with the United Way efforts in many Canadian and American cities for the past 25 years. As the district director for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (0H11'), Arkelian's of- fice provides service to three thousand medical practitioners and ap- proximately one million citizens in a nine county area. Arkelian is on the selection committee of the District Health Council, and a member of the Mens' Club, Christ Memorial Church and the Annandale Golf Club. The Whitby Com- munity Information Centre is looking for three volunteers. "if you would like to be of real assistance to your community, give us a caîl," says Heather Goodford, assistant community information officer. The centre, located in the Whitby Public Library, dispenses in- formation on services in Whitby and Durham region. Goodford says, "We need dedicated volun- teers for a minimum of one year who are able to work on special projects for the centre." Sucli projects would include 81 TIC updating information files. The volunteer position would require a minimum of four hours of work per week. During regular hours this would mean two evenings or one Satur- day per week. Goodford says the position is not a glamour job, but volunteers would, themselves, learn more about the services their com- munity lias to offer while at the same time helping their fellow citizens. She is looking for people who can work well with the public, and on their own with little helpful if they had their own car, she says.

Afier many meetings, with the Town of Whitby, we were led to believe that this "Complex" would becomne a reality. However, at a recent meeting, we were advised that our long term contribution would flot be needed- the Town of Whitby does not feel that a large Soccer and Basebali Complex is necessary. We would like to assure the people of Whitby and surrounding areas, who have supported us, that these funds will be channelled back into our community through many worthwhile projeots.
