She and many others in the Koote- nays and across Canada who helped sell bags of peanuts this fall had their names sub- mitted for the draw for the grand prize offered by the Kid- ney Foundation. The Trail chapter is made up of patients, family mem- bers, friends and supporters - from the Trail-Castlegar area. They meet on a regular basis to give support to each other and fellow patients and their families, and to contribute in many ways, including fund raising, to the work of the foundation. The Kidney Foundation of Canada provides a variety of support services to patients and their families. This in- cludes educational, emotional and material support,. plus promotion of organ donation, research and high quality care and treatment of patients.

Sarah Chambers will assist at the station and Oglow will act as liaison to the Kootenay Doukhobour Museum and in- termediate areas.

Because the society has al- ways been seen as a primary source of local history, letters are also going out to the school board and colleges.
