ANtlllllL MEETING

ldent. will be giving a full report of their activities later in the meeting, I will now only extend to them our sincere appreciathm for their work.

"It is interesting to note that the Friendship Club of The Blind in Charlottetown has not only pro vided monthly entertainment for the blind but has introduced crib- bage playing which has created much enthusiasm among club members. Through the generosity of Mr. Joseph MacDonald of the Rollaway. alleys have been pro- vided free once a week, to ten blind bowlers who have been coa- ched by enthusiastic members of the Charlottetown Lions Club.

"In our Prevention of Blindness Programme. 55 persons received eye service through this Institute in the form of eye examinations, glasses, eye medication and an op- eration compared to 10 persons in 1954-55. This unusual increase is due in large measure to an influx of cases formerly handled by the Red Cross and to the close co-op erattun between the public health nurses and this Institute. Another phase of this work has been the holding of two very successful es- say writing contests on "Care of the Eyes" sponsored by the C.N.I.B. and the Lions Clubs of this Prov- ince. ramphlets on eye care were provided, by the C.N.I.B. and prizes were donated by the Lions Clubs.

"The treasurer will be giving a detailed report on the income and expenditures for the year but I feel that I must record in this report the fact that due to unforseen ob- stacles we were not quite able to reach our Campaign objective but I feel sure that our weak points can and will be overcome in our next financial drive.

"In closing may I extend thanks to the radio, the press and the many others individuals and groups - who have made it poss- ible by their assistance and their financial support. for us to carry out these services on behalf of the sightless people of Prince Edward Island." .

AUXILIARY REPORT

A comprehensive report, outlin- ing the social activities of the blind. was given by Mrs. S. G. Peppln. president of the Char- lottetown Women's Auxiliary to the C.N.I.B. This included Eas- ter glfts to the blind of Char- lottetown. the annual picnic at Stanhope Beach and the Christ- mas parly in Dccembe .

During the meeting campalsn dates were set for Oct. 15 to 27 with a campaign objective of 69000.00.
