Board of Directors is expanded to include representatives from
St. Joseph's Hospital, BC Tel Volunteers, and Satellite Coordinators
from the Cowichan Valley, Chemainus/Crofton, and Sunshine Coast.
Additional seats were added for community organization representatives,
such as Continuing Care, Evergreen Seniors, and Comox Valley
Senior Peer Counseling. The society is completely independent,
self supporting, and a registered charity.
Many
community service clubs, and fraternal organizations contribute
by sponsoring monitoring fees for the less fortunate needing Lifeline,
and continue to donate
funds for purchasing Lifeline units.
We assist those of limited funds, meeting our established criteria,
to obtain Lifeline at a reduced fee.
