nent-wide exercise of emergency

communications.

The Field Day event was held cartier this

dent Marcus Hansen, “Local earthquakes just
before the event certainly sharpened our emer-
geney communication skills.”

The local club has improved its Field Day
contest score consistency since the group
formed 10 years ago. Since 1994, the club has
placed first in Canada in its contest class. The
results for this year were just announced by the

The North Vancouver Christmas Bureau
Needs You to Sponsor+a-FAMILY!

The North Vancouver Christmas Bureau is looking for families, individuals,
community groups, office groups and others to Sponsor-a-FAMILY
(or individual) in need this Christmas.

In 1996, with the support of those who sponsored a family, over 900 families were served.

in an effort to provide consistency donors are asked to supply a small gift and a
$50.00 holiday food certificate redeemable at a North Shore grocery store for each
sponsored family member. This allows the recipients to accommodate individual
dietary needs, allergies, extra baby foods, etc. Gift suggestions are provided
to make shopping for your hamper practical and fun.

Donors are asked to bring their finished hampers to the
Lucas Centre, 2132 Hamilton Street, North Vancouver
on December 8th or 9th between 1 am and 7:30pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share
at a very special time of year.

We welcome and encourage you to take part
in this North Shore tradition.

The Christmas Bureau relies entirely on the kindness and
support of the community to meet the financial needs
of the Christmas Bureau. There is no government funding

for this program.

We ask you to generously support the Christmas Bureau.
