BUSY WOMEN have found a
helpmate with the recent release of
INFO-TO-GO For Women On the
Go, a handy resource book
published by a subsidiary of the
Vancouver YWCA.

The 160-page, coil-bound book
was the first project of Women’s
Ventures Inc. (WVI), a newly
fornied subsidiary of the YWCA.

North Vancouver's Lois
Holistedt, the Y’s executive direc-
tor, says the private company was
formed to allow the Y to *tunder-
take some for-profit ventures’’
while maintaining its status as a
registered charity.

“Our traditional fundraising
was getting harder and harder to
do,” commented Hollstedt, who
was one of many North Shore
people who worked on the book's
production.

The idea of a women’s resource
guide was gleaned from a similar

Women’s resource
guide is available

publication in the United States,
although Hollstedt says they
managed to improve on the U.S.
counterpart.

The more than 100 subjects
covered in the book, which include
a toy safety checklist, Taming
Credit Card Debt, Stress Busters
and Why You Should Make a
Will, were chosen after surveying
the YWCA's membership for the
topics they most wanted to hear
about.

“Everyone who has seen the
book has been quite enthusiastic
about it,"’ said Hollstedt. INFO-
TO-GO is available at local
bookstores, supermarkets, drug
and department stores and the
YWCA for $9.95. It also contains
12 calendar pages, money-saving
coupons and listings of social and
community services.

guide, call the Y at 683-2531.

View trees until Epiphany

PARISHIONERS AT St. John’s
Anglican Church decorated their
three outdoor Christmas trees in a
novel way this year — with orna-
ments representing each member
of the congregation.

“Every decoration on the tree
represents a member of the
parish,"’ said parishioner Beth
Lawrence, who made the orna-
ments along with her daughter,
Donna. ‘‘li signifies the impor-
tance of each individual.’’

HORST SACHS, president of the North Shore’s Har-El Congregation, lights a new menorah (candelabra) to
mark the eight-day Jewish celebration of Hanukkah, which ends tomorrow night. The gold-plated, hand-
crafted menorzh from Israet was recently donated to the synagogue.

Along with the candy canes,
Stars, and bells that were cut out of
gift wrap, signed by members of
the congregation and covered with
clear plastic, gold stars were hung,
each of which honors a member of
the church who has passed away.

Lawrence, whose parents and
grandparents were also members

-of St. John’s, says anyone in the

congregation who had special
memories of a deceased parishio-
ner was able to hang a gold star in
