Yellow ribbon
sales launched

A PROGRAM aimed at raising a
minimum of $500,000 for Man In
Motion Rick Hansea through the
sale of yellow ribbons was launch-
ed recently at Vancouver City
Hall.

The two-foot yellow ribbons will
be sold for $f throughout the pro-
vince over the next several weeks,
with proceeds from the promotion
going to the Rick Hansen Man In
Motion Tour.

The message of ‘Welcome
Home, Rick’? will be stenciled on
all the ribbons, and the public will
be encouraged to wear or hang the
ribbons as a visual demonstration
of their support for Hansen’s
World Tour.

Vancouver Mayor Gordon
Campbell purchased the first rib-
bon offered for sale and tied it
around a tree outside city hall.

“Rick Hansen has succeeded in
his courageous quest to raise
awareness for handicapped people
throughout the world,’ stated
Tom Rust, honorary chairman of
the B.C. Division of the Rick
Hansen World Tour. ‘‘f urge all
British Columbians to offer a
hero’s welcome to Rick through
their support of this program.’’

The ribbons will be available for
sale at all Safeway and Essa loca-
tions throughout the prevince, as
well as radio station CKNW.

The program was inspired by the
American example of tying vellow
ribbons around trees to welcome
the Iran hostages home.

Other uses for the ribbons cited
by the program’s coordinators in-
clude using the ribbons as
Shoelaces; attaching them to
automobile antennas: decorating
storefronts and windows: adding
color to office reception areas; and
affixing them to house chimneys
