January, 1963, a staff member of the hospital was: apâ€" pointed Director of Volunteer Serâ€" vices and efforts were then made to organize the activities more efâ€" fectively, to reeruit new groups to provide new programs and closer communication between staff and volunteers. The volunteers were encouraged to form their own association and in March 1963 the Ontario Hospital New Toronto Association of Volunâ€" teers was formed. Membership in this association is open to all volunâ€" teers serving in the hospital and the objects of the organization are ‘to provide a means of communicaâ€" tion of ideas between volunteer groups serving in the hospital; to provide for a coâ€"ordinated planning of volunteer programs; to establish a central fund to aid volunteer proâ€" grams in the hospital and to faciliâ€" tate communications between volâ€" unteers, the patients and the hoapiâ€" tal staff/‘ As of June, 1964, the number of volunteers serving in the hospital had risen to over 375 individuals and 25 organized groups.

The only room that can at present be used for such functions is the Staff Lounge and may be used only when it is not required for staff use. The volunâ€" teers at present coming into the hospital have no place for their own use, no lockers to store their own belongings or equipment used in their programs. They would like to provide increased space for libâ€" rary use as the present library is crowded, inadequate, and in a very outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way location. The assoâ€" ciation would like to provide a clothing centre for the provision of new and good used clothing for inâ€" digent patients.

Mrs. Monture is widely known as a most informaâ€" tive and interesting personality and well worth hearing. Babyâ€"sitting arrangements are available at the church. The luncheon is being sponsored by the Applewood United wards. Such a lounge would have as an addition to it a small kitchen where light snacks could be preâ€" their culinary skills onee more. ‘The general meeting of the assoâ€" ciation in April, 1964, approved a motion to select a committee to enâ€" quire into the possibilities of erectâ€" ing a suitable building on the grounds of the hospital to be used by volunteers for the welfare of the patients; such building to provide a central lounge, a small kitchen, washrooms, locker space and libâ€" families away from the crowded erection of such a building are to be raised by private subscription. The committee has made an initial inquiry into the costs of such a building and has established that they would like to erect a oneâ€"story building of approximately 1200 rary facilities.

The Association has a central fund to support its joint efforts and to assist any volunteer group in the hospital which requires adâ€" ditional support. The Association has a moneyâ€"raising venture each year and also welcomes donations from interested individuals and orâ€" ganizations. It is hoped that as this central fund accumulates the assoâ€" ciation will be able to provide needed extras for the welfare and enjoyment of the patients. .
