a A solid shot to the
me bank account won’t
ma stop the North Shore
a Disability Resource

Centre from building
its library.

Pam Horton, the resource
centre’s president, said the
centre’s board has decided to

@ go ahead with the estimated

$120,000 — project’ even
though an important $30,000
donation has vanished.
“Without this revenue we
will have to work twice as hard

B to raise money from the com-

munity to build and outfit our
new resource library,” Horton
said.

“We know we've got some
serious fundraising to do but

ae we're really hoping the com-
@ munity will support us.”

The $30,000 was sup-

_posed to be forwarded to the
‘fesource centre after the
‘Antigua Challenge golf tour-
‘mament at Point Grey golf

Horton told the News
three weeks ago that the
resource centre was one of
four beneficiaries of the golf
fousnament.

The event was organized
by Golfsport. Brian Slobogian
was the company’s principal.
He’s also sole director and
one of two principals of Eron
Mortgage Corporation, which
was forced into temporary
receivership and is being
investigated for, among other
things, “bookkeeping prob-
lems.”

Some Eron investors, said
the B.C. registrar of mortgage

brokers, may be unsecured for
much of their investments.

Horton has already decid-
ed the $30,000 won't show
up. Repeated calls to
Golfsport after the May tour-
nament have led to nothing
more than a runaround, said
Horton,

‘The centre has applied for
grants that will match any
funds raised for the library.

Horton said the resource
centre on Mountain Highway
currently serves more than
200 clients.

The group is trying to

library that is focused on dis-

ability issues and will have
Internet connections available
for use.

Before the library gets
built, however, the resource
centre must knock walls down
and obtain furniture, said
Horton.

So far, the resource centre
has raised $6,300 of the
$120,000 to $125,900
Horton estimates is required
for the library.

In 1996, when the tourna:
ment raised $24,000 for the
resource centre, the money
showed up and there were
not any problems, — said
Horton.
