Pair of YVMICA campaigns achieve their results Midland YMCA Campaign Chairman, Fred Hacker announced Monday the results of major fund raising activities that have been undertaken by the Association since last October. The YMCA Board of Directors was faced with two _ financial problems last fall. The immediate concern was to raise, from the public at large, sufficient money to balance the operating budget for 1981. The second and more critical concern was to try to develop a strategy to considerably reduce the mortgage in- debtedness of the Association, as almost $300,000 was still to be paid off on the Y's beautiful new facility. Operating Campaign With respect to the 1981 financial requirement of the Association, the Directors originally set a target of $40,000. However, when the Y's 1981 budget was finalized, the actual requirement from campaign funds proved to be considerably less. Income generated by the Y from mem- berships, programs and other fees will require a subsidy of only $24,800 in order to meet operational expenses in 1981. The Operating Campaign organization, consisting of over 120 volunteers under the leadership of Chester Graham, surpassed the budgeted requirement with more than $25,000 having been reported to date. It is known that a few campaigners have yet to complete their reports. Hacker and _ the Finance Committee consider this campaign to be an excellent success since it will meet the requirements of the operating subsidy for the year 1981. Volunteers Top level volunteers on this campaign, in addition to Chester Graham were unit leaders, Bob Morton, Dick Gay, and John Gignac with team captains Ken St. Amant, Larry Bowers, Kevin Pursell, Clay Young, Marlene Latondresse, Bill Prentice, Herb Mellish, Andy Wicksted, Jack Wilson, Mike Miller, Bryson McQuirter, Ron Mink, Barbara Nicholls, and Des Carpenter.

Mike Miller also captained the _ top producing team securing a total of $2,506 in pledges. Capital requirements While the Operating Campaign organization was being set up, Mr. Hacker recruited a team of 16 top can- vassers to attack the $300,000 mortgage problem. The goal of these special can- vassers was to sub- stantially reduce the large mortgage and interest payments which were proving to be a restrictive burden for the YMCA. By soliciting pledges payable over three years the _ capital campaign would thus reduce the outstanding deficit to manageable proportions. Hacker has an- nounced that this capital task force has succeeded in raising $250,000 in pledges which is '"'an incredible piece of work." Hacker further stated "Special Canvassers Dr. Peter Cameron, Dr. John Gibson, Robbert Hartog, Frank Hart- man, Jean Hartman, John Leitch, Ralph Lynn, Ernie Mink, Jim McCready, Tom McCullough, Greg Rice, Hudson Leavens, Doug Andrews, Herb Hen- derson, Pat Teskey and Dr. Norm' Grieve deserve a tremendous Hacker.

Snowmobile set ablaze Midland OPP recovered a snowmobile late Sunday night after it had been reported missing. The machine which had been set ablaze was located in a field east of the intersection of First Avenue and Second Street in Port MeNicoll. Police say it had been stripped of its engine, gas tank and other parts before being torched. Subsequent investigations determined the machine had been owned by Rick Daziel, 676 King St., Midland, and that the man had previously reported it missing. Police investigation into the matter continues. Meanwhile Gabriel G. J. Forget (Tiny Twp) has been charged in connection with the entry of Maple Valley Social Club between 1:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., Jan. 16. Forget also faces other charges. In other police news a person or persons still unknown to OPP were responsible for taking two snowmobiles stored at a Tiny Township cottage on Con. 16 sometime on Jan. 12. The machines were owned by two Toronto-area men. They're a 1979 Ski-Doo 440, and a 1980 Ski- Doo Citation. The '79 machine was later recovered by OPP's snow patrol near Camp Marygrove while the '80 one was found abandoned at Coutnac Beach. GIANT PRINTS ARE 30% LARGER ELMVALE ww GUARDIAN .|| DRUGS.
