rtUtin:1 orF. The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group Annual General Meeting

It is becoming increasingly difficult for an individual to directly affect the quality of life outside the home. G.N.A.G. sponsored recreational activities do affect the quality of life in the Glebe.

G.N.A.G. is a neighbourhood, volunteer, non-profit organization. Its mandate is recreation not politics. All Glebe residents and business owners are automatically members.

Volunteer work with G.N.A.G. can serve as an outlet where an individual can affect the life in our neighbourhood.

At the Annual General Meeting a new Executive Board will be elected. G.N.A.G. needs people to sit on this board. It also needs people to help vvith particular events, such as the Snowflake Special; people to help with particular courses, such as children's recreational soccer; people to give advice, share'their expertise, etc. when it comes to programme planning, handling ac- counts, input to the Glebe Community Centre renovation plan and many other things.

If you have benefited in the past from one of the many G.N.A.G. sponsored courses, or whether you simply vvish to help in your neighbourhood, please consider volunteering. Leave your name, number and area of interest at the Glebe Community Centre.

G.N.A.G. needs the efforts of many people to ensure its continued success.

Pictured above is Mrs. Dufors' class making their donation to the fund.

The children at Mutchmor School raised $200 for The Save the Children fund early in February. Boys and girls worked at home to "earn" donations for the fund; then they brought their money to school and were given a heart to put on the Valentine Tree. By February 14th our tree was resplendent in Beautiful hearts.
