Below is the citation given to
A. Flanagan, this year's winner of
the Raybestos-Manhattan Community Aw-
ard.

Active member and past president

of Cassiar Curling Club.

Provides support for Junior foot-
ball and Junior hockey.

Active in fund raising activities
for the building of the Centenn-

ial Arena and Lions Club Swimming
Pool.

Active member of Cassiar Club of
Lions International.

More than generous with his time
and talents in the furtherance of
activities and welfare of Cassiar

a) generous with his home and
table when domestic problems
of others have required it.

b) generous with his time and car
when needed to assist our
native children.

c) always willing and available,
if due to accident or illness
his services are required to
operate the ambulance or to
assist in any other way.

d) has a warm heart and open arms
for many of the children of
our community.

These are just a few of the act-
ivities Al has been associated with
in the past 6 years. Not detailed
were his activities with the minor
hockey and fastball clubs. When ice
time was limited last year it wasn't
unusual to see Al in the hockey arena
at 6:00 a.m. coaching and advising th
youngsters. ‘This year will give no
relief to Al as he has recently been
appointed director of the newly ele-
ected executive of the Hockey Arena.
Junior Fastball was also an area in
which Al helped the youngsters, eithe
as coach, umpire, advisor, or just a
kit manager.

One of his duties as a Lions men-
ber has been to conduct the weekly

16

bottle drive, an endeavor which has
constantly swelled the coffers of
the Lions Club, to be redistributed
in the town.

The Vets Association, one of the
newest organizations in town, is
another club which Al is a member of
and although the organization is new
Al has assisted in the parade and
distribution of poppies for many
years.

All these activities take time
and effort but we are sure that Al
will continue to involve himself in
the community and where there is a
need Al will be there with a helping
hand.

A gala evening of dancing was enjoy-
ed by the restdents of Casstar at
tne Frreman's Ball where Al Flanagan
received the Raubestos-Manhattan
Community Award.
