On hand to accept the check was the hospitals assist director of deve- lopment Dave Bennett. He offered his appreciation on behalf of the hospital to the Lions Club, saying that if members ever want a tour of the facility that he would personally make the arrangements. He also encouraged the members to attend the festival of trees in Salt Lake City where Christmas trees are decorated and sold with pro- - ceeds going to it organizations such as the hospital. Mr. Bennett said that the money donated to the hospital goes to help the charity cases at the facility. The money is used only for that purpose, he emphasized. He noted that in 1990, the hospital spent $2.6 million for charity cases involving over 1,600 patients. All of the money for those patients care came from donations. This money is very important to us, he said. Without these donations, we would not be able to provide the services that we do. The hospital spokesman said that Primary Childrens has been able to help hundreds of young families and that in 69 years of service, no one needing medical care has been turned down. Recently the hospital was relocated adjacent to the University of Utah Medical Center. The new facility has given us an opportunity to take advantage of the latest, non-prof- care practices, he said. Mr. Bennett also pointed out that Primary Childrens has one of the highest occupancy rates in the country and serves the largest geographical area in the county with service for patients who come from throughout the intermoun-tai- n 5 LET'S RACET- - Racing is coming to UTAH !!!

Dale got together for an mative seminar and workshop on photo preservation. They attended a half-hoinfor- ur presentation where they learned what kind of damage a magnetic photo album can do to their precious family photos." They learned about how such factors as acid, heat, light, unsafe PVC plastics and improper storage can harm the pictures on which they spent a great deal of money. It was noted that Ameri-- . cans spend $20 to $500 on a camera, $5 to $10 on a roll of film, $7 to $10 to get the photo-- s developed, and then leave the pictures in the packet they came in, put them in a shoe box, or often put them in an album which will destroy the pictures they were meant to protect. Following the seminar, the participants were invited to begin work on a scrapbook-styl- e photo album. For a $5 workshop fee they were provided not only with the educational materials and handouts, but with all the supplies needed to put together their own page. A high quality, acid-fre- e scrapbook page was also provided.
