Some 90 percent of our instruction is on a voluntary basis con- tributed by people who enjoy working with youngsters". Linton feels such projects help knit a community, give it an identity.

Friedberg explained that the project hatiits birth in the “Out Reach“ group at St. Paul’s United Church at Lake Wilcox. Hey, Karate “We hope to expand into other activities”, said Fried- berg. “such as pottery making. general crafts, karate, cooking“. and ougsirde grips to various locales”. Gymnastics, crafts, games you name it! “There are some 30 to 40 teenagers involved in this project every Tuesday night at Lake Wilcox Public School." stated Richmond Hill Superintendent of Recreation Lynton Ht Friedberg. “It’s really working out well". For two hours‘ from 7 to 9 pm. the youngsters (from ages 13 to 17) participate in activities ranging from yoga lessons, basketball, gymnastics, etc. No one is saying that the adults and youth of a community aren‘t talking to one another. Then again: Maybe they don‘t talk enough. Which is the idea of a “pilot project" that has been going its undramatic but effective way at Lake Wilcox since January. "Talking" the project up are, you guessed it, adults and youth.
