Give Thanks to Caregivers
During Thanksgiving
Nov. 18 Set as Deadline for
Membership in Water System
Christmas Food Basket Sign-up
Continues through Dec. 3
t r
The week of Thanksgiving is Na-
tional Family Caregivers Week.
This time presents an opportunity
to give special recognition to per-
sons wo give their time, love and as-
sistance to maintain older loved
ones in the community and assure
that their various needs are met.
Families, not governmental agen-
cies, provide the majority of care
needed by older persons living in
the community. In fact, 80% of the
care needed by the elderly ex-
periencing limitations with day-to-
day tasks come from the
family - mainly wives and
daughters. In fact, according to a
1987 National Survey of Caregivers
sponsored by AARP and The
Travelers Companies Foundation,.
approximated 7 million Americans
are caregivers.
The time caregivers spend giving
day to many hours. The tasks per-
formed, among others, may include
bathing and dressing, cooking,
cleaning, and laundry; handling
finances; administering medica-
tions; changing dressings and in-
travenous tubes; running errands
to stores and businesses; and being
a source of caregiving information
both to the older person and to
other friends and family members. t
Although many caregivers find ,
the role rewarding, few will say that .

Missionary to Speak at First
Assembly of God in Sunday
Morning’s Service
“Unlike some other countries of
Western Europe, the country of
Spain has never experienced a
sweeping, spiritual revival," says
the Rev. Stephen L. Norman. “But
in view of the full religious liberty
which it now enjoys, and the volume
of prayers going up for this country,
there is good reason to believe that
revival is near.”
Rev. Norman will be guest
speaker at First Assembly of God,
201 Roberts, on Sunday at 10:45
a.m. He has been an Assemblies of
God missionary to Spain since
1965.
With his wife, Charline, Rev.
Norman founded two churches in
Bilbao on Spain’s northern coast,
and pastored in thenation’s capital,
Madrid, for 51/2 years. He has con-
ducted evangelistic meetings
. among the Assemblies of God
churched in Spain. For three years
Rev. Norman’s radio program, "La
Mirada de Fe" was broadcast from
three to five times weekly from
Madrid.
Another of his responsibilites
during two years was marketing
publications of Life Publishers In-
I Ternational, a publishing arm of the
Division of Foreign Missions.
Originally established to provide
Christian literature for the
Spanish-speaking countries in
Latin America, Life has outgrown
that function and is now published
in French, Italian, and Protuguese,
as well as Spanish.

“Sweet Charity”
ORANGE — One of the showiest
song and dance extraganza’s in
Broadway history, Sweet Charity is
coming to the Lutcher Theater on
Saturday, November 19.
Winner of four 1986 Tony
Awards including “Best Revival",
this internationally acclaimed
1960’s musical comedy sensation
had Broadway audiences cheering
and is now delighting audiences
across the country in this 1988 na-
tional touring production.
Sweet Charity was conceived by
award-winning Director/Choreog-
rapher Bob Fosse, with music and
lyrics by Cy Coleman and Dorothy
Fields, the celebrated score in-

it is easy. Caregiving can be physi-
cally and emotionally stressful for
both persons involved. A once in-
dependent and proud person may
feel helpless; he or she may ex-
perience anger, confusion, and
fear. For the caregiver, the pres-
sure of a busy schedule can be com-
pounded by feeling inadequate
about providing care or preventing
pain, by feeling both love and pity
for the family member or friend,
and by feeling anger at having his or
her life consumed by the situation.
Caregivers are part of an increas-
ingly important resource that is
meeting the needs of the growing
number of chronically ill and dis-
abled older persons in our popula-
tion. Many public and private
organizations are beginning to
recognize this important role of
care may vary from a few hours a
