volunteers

* By CasNews Staff

Interested in -recreation? How about the handicapped? Then the Kootenay Society for the Handicapped may be looking for you.

The Society has initiated a recreation’ service for .area

t ‘handicapped: atid tieeds: com-' zmunity’ volunteers” to/shelp out.

Vianne Timmons, the ‘So- ciety's recreational lifeskills coordinator, explained in an interview that the new ser-

* vice is' intended to offer the

area’s handicapped a chance to take part in community recreation programs. Timmons noted that the Society's goal is to integrate the handicapped in existing recreation programs rather than establish separate pro- grams specifically for the handicapped. ~

* She said the new service is also part of the Society's ex- ‘pansion of services for area handicapped and a shift from providing services, to using services already established.

That's where the volun- teers come in, she said. The Society needs residents to act as “recreational friends” to'the handicapped.

For example, the Society needs six volunteers to join six handicapped residents at a fitness class at Selkirk Col- lege twice. a week. Timmons said the volunteers will start the handicapped in recrea- tional skills, basketabll and a general fitness program un- der the supervision of a

physical education instruc: tor,

The program runs Mon- days and Wednesdays, and Timmons ‘said volunteers don't have to commit them- selves to every night.

All that is required is that.

-six volunteers be on: hand.

every Monday and -Wednes-. day afternoon from B46: > 4:45 p.m.

“We're looking for more than six (volunteers), but we need six each time,” Tim- mons said,

As well, other programs planned include teaching-lei- sure skills — such as knitting and crocheting — to handi- capped on a “one-to-one” ba- sis, : mig

Timmons said the Society has only started to look’ at how many. handicapped. need recreational services, but al- ready they have identified £5 -area handicapped residents who would take part. .

She added that volunteers don’t always have to take

part in a recreation program.

with a. handicapped resi- dent. In one case, a Rasp- berry woman loves to play bingo and would simply likea ride to bingo once in a while.

Timmons noted that every volunteer will be interviewed and matched with a shandi- capped person. Volunteers who do not have a particular interest or recreational skill are also needed in order to help the Society develop a resource of volunteers, she said.
