Lottery aids

THERE'S NO place like home and
Big Sisters of B.C. Lower
Mainland will prove it this year as
they make the move to bring all
community activities under one
roof with the purchase of a Big
Sisters house in central Vancouver.

The new headquarters has been
made possible in part with a pro-
vincial government grant, and will
get an additional boost through
proceeds from this year’s Big
Sisters Sunspin Lottery — a chance
to take a spin into 1988 with a
grand prize of a candy apple red
1988 Mazda RX-7 valued at ap-
proximately $19,550. Second and
third prizes are a _ seven-night
Honolulu trip for two donated by
the Hyatt Regency Waikiki (airfare
by Harris and Kochler Travel) and
a $300 grocery spree donated by
Canada Safeway Ltd.

Most of the proceeds from the
sale of the $2 raffle tickets (3 for
$5) will go toward the purchase of
the new home at 34 East 12th Ave.
According to executive director
Marcie Bell, ‘‘The house is a visi-
ble symbol] of the 27 years of ser-
vice Big Sisters has delivered to the
community. Many of the Little
Sisters who are part of the pro-
gram experience the problems
associated with family stresses due
to unemployment and lack of af-
fordable housing.

‘We believe that bringing
children into a nurturing setting
will have a positive impact on their
well-being. As well, the house will
provide much needed office space
and will mean that we will no
longer have to rent premises
throughout the city to host our
monthly activities.”

Tickets for the lottery are
available from now to Dec. 23 at
over 20 mails in the Lower
Mainland, participating Mazda
