The event gets underway at 7:45 p.m. in the Trafalgar Room of Town Hall, located at 1225 Trafalgar Rd. The purpose of the meeting is to offer information to members of the public who are interested in participating as a volunteer but are uncertain as to where their time and tal ents can be best utilized. According to MADD Halton president Stephanie Dooley, many people are under the impression that volunteering with a non-profit organization involves a huge commitment of time and effort. MADD Hatton's purpose for the evening, said Dooley, is to dispel this myth. For complete information about the evening or MADD Halton, please call 844-0096. Photo by Peter C.
