Each year, clubwomen from throught Luzerne County com- bine their time, talents and re- sources to raise monies for local non-profit groups. Since 1982, more than $200,000 has been raised for the Domestic Violence Service, Hos- pice St. John, the Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, American Dia- betes Association, the Kirby Mar- quis, the Association for Retarded Children, REACH, Make-A-Wish / Alzheimer Support Group, the SPCA, Child Development Coun- cil and the Victim's Resource Center.

Mary Jude Swanson .is the General Federation Day chairman, with Maureen Oremus as co- chairman and Nancy Wilson as Luzerne County president. Early boat registration urged Boaters who register their craft early can avoid processing de- lays, according to the Pennsylva- nia Fish and Boat Commission, the only state agency charged by law to regulate pleasure boating in the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania law requires that all motorboats and all boats using Fish and Boat Commission lakes or access areas be registered. Boat owners whose registra- tions expire at midnight March 31 are encouraged to beat the rush by filing for renewal promptly. Early registration is especially important for those who intend to use their craft during trout fish- ing season. Processing applications re- quires time, says the Commis- sion; those who procrastinate may not have validations by opening day (April 15). Operating a boat without a required validation sticker could result in a fine. Two-year registration fees for boat owners range from $10 for boats not equipped with motors to $40 for motorboats 20 feet or longer. Special fees apply to commercial and dealer registra- tions.

RS SR RE ROR a i EE el iB GV] Deadline for orders: March 10 The Society's local chapter is proud of their part in providing cancer education and early detec- tion programs - valued at more than a quarter-million dollars - to almost 100,000 adultsand youths throughout Wyoming Valley. None of this would have been possible without all their volunteer help. Cancer Society is the largest The United States has well over one million voluntary organiza- tions, such as: hospitals, schools, libraries, orchestras, museums, historical societies, adoption serv- ices, drug and alcohol treatment centers and health associations. All run by volunteers on mostly donations, all non-profit. High on this list is the Ameri- can Cancer Society, started in 1913 with only 15 men. It is the largest, most influential and most effective private voluntary health organization in history. Its goal was simple: total con- trol of cancer as a disease of humankind, a seemingly unat- tainable objective. However over three-quarters of a century later the goal is within striking dis- tance. This organization has an amaz- ing number of volunteers...close to 3,000,000! Some are moti- vated by a traumatic experience with cancer, in themselves or families or friends, or by their professional concerns (countless physicians are members) and they provide a driving force not found in any other volunteers. Some are celebrities: Betty Ford, Gregory Peck, Raquel Welch, Lena Horne, and the late John Wayne. Former board chairman Judge Charles Ebersol has said that ACS volunteers have one thing in common: “When you move into a new community, I've been told there are two ways to make yourself at home quickly. Con- tactyour church, and get in touch with your local unit of the Ameri- can Cancer Society. They'll gen- erally be the finest people in town.” The late president Dwight Eis- enhower estimated that volunteer efforts multiplied the value of monetary gifts by a factor of four; that is, for every dollar given to a well-run, honorable, voluntary organization, the value returned to the public is four dollars. Twenty-seven percent of each ACS dollar raised in money is given to research. Patient service takes 26% and Health Education 28%. Management is an amazing - paltry - 4%! (Imagine these percentages without volunteers.) Sarah Reynolds, field rep for the Wyoming Valley ACS unit, has thanked people for their gen- erosity and says, “They should know we can help, with medica- tion, with transportation, and with other things. More than half of the locally-raised money stays here to benefit our cancer pa- tients and help educate the pub- He.” Cancer Society volunteers have helped save millions of lives, and helped to create cancer societies in more than 100 other countries. This is truly effective dedication. by Jack Hilsher ATTENTION! Men and Women! Thinking about going into business? Then this is the workshop for you.
