special projects coordinator.

An immigrant from
Czechoslovakia in the 1930s,
Jetter worked in the forestry in-
dustry until his retirement in the
early 1980s.

The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs
started in Vancouver in 1936.
The seven Lower Mainland clubs
provide activities and services for
children ranging from arts and
crafts to guidance, counselling
and games.

Many of the children par-
ticipating in the clubs come from
disadvantaged homes and may
need the support and en-
couragement that volunteers
such as Jetter provide.

on the North Shore for 6
years specializing in
custom styling and per-
sonalized service.
