An experience to share

Dear Editor, I had an experience this week that I would like to share with you and other members of the community. I’ve been a member of the board of director's of Lakeland Day Care Center from the beginning (October, 1973), and as many of you know it's become an obsession of mine at times. I believe totally in the program and that it has a definite purpose in our community. From time to time I’ve had the opportunity to serve as a volunteer at the center and afterward I always tell myself. “Gee, that was fun! I feel good about that, like I’ve contributed in a small way. I'm going to do that again soon”. But, as with many good intentions, it gets lost in the shuffle. Well, my opportunity came again on Friday. Oct. 7. The administrator. Judy Burke and the program planner. Carol Hurd were to attend a two-day workshop in Indianapolis for day Swim-Along collections to be sent in soon The final check for the Cystic Fibrosis Wawasee Swim-Along will be sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in two weeks. Those swimmers who have not collected all their pledge monies should do so. All money should be turned in to the State Bank of Syracuse, as soon as possible. Anyone who was not approached to sponsor a swimmer, but would like to contribute to the foundation for the lung-damaging disease, may send a contribution to the bank For further information, contact Mrs. Tom (Cynthia) Thornburg, Syracuse.

care directors. This left the staff short-handed and I volunteered to fill in. I spent a delightful four hours, helping with the craft and music sessions and in circle time we talked about the changing seasons and the weather. Many of you are unaware. I’m sure, that the staff has incorporated a qualified nursery school program into the day care program. We played outside on the swings, slides, tricycles, and the new climbing toys. Soon it was lunchtime and time for me to leave. You know how I felt? TIRED!!! But absolutely thrilled and bubbling inside. I made some new friends and I’m looking forward to meeting Stevie, Jesse, Lee Ann, Jennie, Missy, Serrena, Anna. Annie, Melanie. Stephanie, Roger. Donata, Matt. Andy, and Kellie around town. And, again I'm telling myself “Gee, I gotta do that again soon’’. I guess the whole purpose of this letter is to say to those of you in the community who are finding something missing in your life — maybe this is the answer. Why not volunteer to spend a few hours with 40 delightful three, four, five and six year olds, from time to time It’s a growth experience in loving, giving, and serving you won't forget. And, that's what life is all about. Most sincerely, Gloria J. Eyer
