1 8-The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, December 10, 2002 Who's for Change? Some people love change; some hate it. Most of us probably fall somewhere in between, viewing change as sometimes inevitable, sometimes neces- sary, sometimes desirable. Depending on what's changing and to what degree our tolerance for change goes up and down accordingly. Up until now folks in Milton who no longer were able to or no longer wished to live a totally inde- pendent lifestyle had no option but to seek assisted living facilities outside of the area. This change, away from things and places familiar, separated by time and distance from family and friends, has been a significant burden for many. Soon, those in similar circumstances will find they have a new option, Martindale Gardens. Martindale Gardens, Milton's only assisted living facility, is now under construction and will be welcoming its first residents in the Summer of 2003. Located in the heart of downtown Milton, Martindale Gardens will offer meal preparation, housekeeping, care support and the availability of other personal assistance all provided in a warm, secure and friendly environ- ment. Martindale Gardens is a volunteer based, not for profit project motivated by the recognition that the truest and most enduring measure of a community is how it cares for its own. This is especially true as Milton engages the challenge and opportunity of rapid change. Many individuals, businesses and Government leaders have recognized the impor- tance of Martindale Gardens to this community and have gathered around it in support. Won't you join us? Please consider a year-end charitable gift to Martindale Gardens. Donations of all sizes are wel- comed and will be recognized. Sizable gifts from $1,000 to $25,000 and up carry opportunities for a variety of prestige recognition. Support Martindale Gardens and be a part of positive change in Milton. Thank you. Please call the Martindale Gardens office today at 905-693-8592.

For the fifth straight year, the farm is selling the trees daily until Christmas, while supplies last. All proceeds go to the Milton District Hospital Foundation.
