Centre d'activites francaises general manager Basile Dorion hopes to have the promotional material being readied for the campaign to raise $80,000 for the centre on hand at the meeting of the campaign committee a week from today. A minimum of 1,000 brochures in English and 1,000 brochures in French will be printed for the campaign that Dorion hopes will start the end of next week or the beginning of the following week. The centre will be eligible for a $49,000 Wintario grant if through its won campaign it raises $80,000. Money raised will be used to renovate the building. In addition equipment for the pottery and weaving classes will be purchased. Videotape equipment and art supplies are also on the list. Dorion also said he hopes to be able to improve the centre's sound system. Some people will be approached in person when the campaign commences. A few. people have already given notice that they will be giving money, Dorion indicated, although the campaign has not started. The fundraising campaign for the centre is the same as for any other public, community centre, such as the YMCA, Dorion said. The centre is a public, non-profit operation. With the money the centre hopes to raise, more programs and additional services can be offered to the community, he said. The centre is "ours," Dorion said, explaining that it benefits all those who make it theirs and Joenesi from its services: When the runneren foot reaches the horse, he mounts and rides. The two runners alternately run and ride to the finish of the race. Horse, runners are to combine To honor Terry Fox on Sunday, Sept. 13 Monday morning on their farm near Lafontaine, George and Di Lindblad, and their friends, Bob and Mary Smith from Tay Township, were practicing for an event ideally requiring an expert horseman, who is also a marathon class runner, all with the aim of raising money for cancer peseateh in memory of the late Terry Ox. The ride and tie race the foursome was practicing for will be held near Stouffville on Sept. 13. Di Lindblad explained that the race is a modern outgrowth of practical transportation in the time when horses were the means of travel, and two people with one horse were in a hurry. On Sept. 13, 30 teams of two people will run-and ride a 15 mile course. At the start one member will be mounted, and ride a distance of the course, dismount, tie the horse, and run on. The other team member, who began the race on foot, upon reaching the tethered horse, will mount and ride on, pass the first rider, stop, tie the horse, and run ahead. The 15 mile race will be run in this manner, each team member alter- nately running and riding. Two stops will be scheduled during the course, for the sake of the horses, not the people. A fast pair of runners and experienced riders can keep a horse moving almost non-stop, Lindblad said. George Lindblad is 60 and Di Lind- blad over 50. They are running not for competition but for the cause and the experience. The Lindblads have $500 in pledges, Anyone wishing to support the Lind- blads ride and run for cancer research can add their pledge by telephoning 533-3236.
