were given an award for pro-
viding work experience for
eight “NSAMH clients over the
past ovo vears. Linda recently
made a presentation to parents
about the benefits a mentally
challenged individual can pro-
vide to an emplover.

“She shared her personal
experience on how she’s first-
hand seen how people with a
disability can really make a dif-
ference in the work force,” said
Rodger.

Jack Jung and his staff at
Cheers restaurant received an
award for hosting several of the
organization’s functions, and
for being generous when giv-
ing the bill.

“He very discretely doesn’t
bill us for things,” said Rodger.
Shawn Murphy, one of Jung’s
employees, accepted the award
because Jung’s “so humble, he
had a hard time coming out,”
according to Rodger.

The panel was formed with

In his speech, MLA Jeremy
Dalton cited the need to pro-
vide organizations —_ like
NSAMBH with blocks of three
to four years of funding, rather
than the current year to year
practice.

“I see no reason why an
organization like yours should-
n't be given a block of fund-
ing, as long as you demon-
strate fiscal responsibility,
which obviously you've done
for over 40 years,” said Dalton.

“Some organizations don’t
know until budgets come
down in spring, where they
stand. { don’t think that’s fair.”

Sally Saunders, president of
NSAMH, said such a change
would provide the kind of
security an organization’ like
hers needs.

“We would be able to make
some Jong term goals, and
have some assurance that we
would be able to meet them.”
