ALS Society of Ontario Walkathon, May 30th 1998
Olwen Niessen
On behalf of the ALS Society of Ontario, I would like to thank all the Foxboro residents who contributed funds to this walkathon. A special
personal "thank you" to my wonderful neighbours who pledged in support of my participation in the 10k event. I am deeply appreciative of your generosity in joining me in helping this underfunded and neglected cause.

Welcome to all new residents moving in this summer and fall. There are many ways to get to know your neighbours. One way is by volunteering to help in various areas. Three of these areas looking for help are: the Grounds Committee; the Kitchen Committee, (both have sign up sheets in the Mail Room files); and the Set up Committee, which sets up rooms for meetings and community functions. (Call Ross Fairweather for this, 634-8924)
From the Social Committee:
To date, fund raisers have brought in $660.32. These include Weekender Wear, 5th Ave. Jewellry, Party Lites, 50/50 draws and Zehr's tapes. Another cheque for $173.53 is on its way for the latest Zehrs' tapes collect-
ed by the community. Thank you.
Some of this money was used to buy 40 patio chairs and 8 tables. They have been put to good use already at the Victoria Day BBQ and the Seminar held
at the Grand Opening of the new Model Homes. Thanks go to Heather Keith who made the purchase, and Jim Arbuckle & Bob Price for delivery of same.
As of June 1st a total of 49 surveys have been returned. The response of the respondents was most generous.
The following people indicated they were willing to serve as co-ordinators:
Care Committee #1.......Marg Wendland
Care Committee #2.......Eileen Fairweather
Care Committee #3.......Robt. and Faith Mundy
Marg Macdonald will at present be the overall coordinator, setting this up on computer, and meeting with the coordinators in the near future to get this new venture established.
The community owes a debt of gratitude to the above, and to all who so generously offered assistance. There is still need for back up for coordinators when they are away. If you are willing to assist in this way please contact any of the above, or the editors.

Help save $$$ 's
� Frequently many lights are left on unnecessarily in our Centre, (sometimes all night), particularly in the change rooms, sauna and lower level halls. It would be a financial benefit to
all of us, if everyone made a habit of turning off all the lights when we are the last to leave an area. It is not necessary for
the change room lights to be left on when you are in the pool.
�Halogen light bulbs, of which we have many, cost almost $90.00 to replace.
Shared Facilities
� Residents are responsible for their guests. This includes checking the change rooms after use to make sure personal items (e.g. wet swim suits, noodles etc.) are not left behind. Young children need to be supervised when using washrooms:-
If they sprinkle when they tinkle,
Please be neat and wipe the seat! Top of Page Tennis Lessons
Wally Morrison is generously donating his time to give
Tennis Lessons to people interested in learning or improving
the game.They are given at the Tennis Court each Tuesday at
1:30 p.m.Please phone Wally if you plan to attend. New Items
� Thanks to Bob Barnhart for providing funds for our new
storage compartment which is located in the outdoor kitchen. The outdoor activities equipment will be stored there.
Special thanks to Bob Price for picking up the cupboard and
to Al Keith for helping Bob and I assemble it.
� We have replaced the torn and dirty shower curtains in t
he change rooms with polyester ones which have proper
grommets and can be easily laundered.
� Our new fan in the fitness room will "help" to alleviate the
heat in the room for the users.
Top of Page Clarification re: New Municipal Addressing-
The only change to Foxboro Green residents is this:- Should you
need to call 911, you no longer use the emergency locator number, only your House Number , Street Name, and Foxboro Green.
