hospital coin box project fosters friendships and funds with the current fundrais ing drive for markham stouf fville hospital in full swing its time to honor some unsung heroes who have been quietly contributing to the cause for close to ten years since december 1984 the kiwanis club of unionville has been carrying out the awesome task of placing and collecting the hospital coin boxes which you see in local businesses across markham and stouffville once the boxes which num ber around 150 are collected a dedicated group of seniors from thomson court apart ments in markham spends half a day to a day every few weeks rolling the coins for deposit at the bank when the hospital founda tion approached the kiwanis for help members dennis robbins eric schofield and the late fred broadfoot didnt hesitate to get involved recalled foundation officer gloria andersen the kiwanis was the first service club contacted and they loved the idea dennis and fred said they wanted to help get it going and fred broadfoots widow molly still collects coins even though she no longer lives in town andersen added over the years they have raised 3393859 and its strictly volunteer they receive no money not even for the gas they use kiwani kim hutchinson has been involved in the program for a couple of years we just go into a busi ness and ask if we can leave a box he explained we usual ly get a good reception 1 took a new man out with me one day and we placed 30 boxes four members of the all- seniors club cover the markham area and one is responsible for stouffville noted hutchinson we pick up about every six weeks and were always on the lookout for new locations h he empties the boxes and delivers the money to ander- joining a group of enthusiastic envelope staffers we walked in and everyone was so nice she recalled she was asked if she could return in the afternoon and we couldnt get back quickly enough to sit and chat with these people miller formed a firm friend ship with andersen and has mmmmmm itllfli h 111 tllilljll kim hutchinson above is one of many volunteers who have made the coin box project a fundraising success sen the task involves many hours of work he said but its also very satisfying its a worthwhile project rolling coins for the hospital has proved to be a wonderful way to get to know people said nancy miller one of the seniors from thomson court when we came to canada 11 years ago we didnt know anyone explained the scot tish native at that time the hospital was still several years away from being built but fund- raising was well under way at the small foundation office on markhams main street and miller found herself cheerfully been rolling coins for the hos pital for about six years i would say we do it about every six weeks and were treated like royalty she noted andersen transports her hardworking group to and from the hospital auditorium to roll coins we dont waste any time we just get on with the job miller observed the person that we just love is gloria that feeling said andersen is mutual they really are wonderful ladies rounding out the coinroiling team are ethel staight iris fulford and eloise haines
